Reviews

“Stay here! Missy's AirBnb has historical charm, modern amenities, and a phenomenal location right in the heart of Istiklal Street. The home is large, clean, and has tons of bedrooms and bathrooms for your entire family. The kitchen is fully stocked for everything you need to cook. The family and dining room have enough room and seating for the entire family to comfortably gather and enjoy each other's company. The building has an elevator which was very convenient especially since we were traveling with seniors. The location is close to everything from Taksim Square, Galata Tower, train station, shops, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. You are literally in the middle of everything. Communication was prompt and Missy answered any questions we had and was always willing to help. We are looking forward to coming back next year and staying here again.” Benny – November 2022

“The place is awesome, still had the antique vibes with a modern touch up. Very clean and spacious. We had a wonderful experience. Missy was very easy to communicate with. Would definitely come back. 👌🏼”  Wesam - August 2022

 
"What amazing two weeks it has been! I can’t thank Missy enough for her generosity, her hospitality, her humor and professionalism! From the moment we arrived at the airport until the moment we are heading back to the airport - the trip was pure bliss. This apartment is so cozy with homey amenities inside but so spacious at the same time. No one felt like we were on top of each other. It was genuinely a perfect apartment for a group of 8. Everything you would desire to make you feel like home was there at your disposal. The location itself is so perfect because everything is downstairs. And you really get to enjoy the culture and the people of Turkey. You see them dancing and singing and celebrating life. Cafes downstairs, amazing restaurants that we went into and became regulars at for the two weeks we were there. I highly recommend you stay here or any of Missy’s locations. Train friendly, drivers are friendly so you can take their phone number and directly contact them when you need a ride, atm machines and banks close by. I can’t say enough good things. We will be coming back on our family trip next year without a doubt!”    Tahera - July 2022

“If you're looking for a centrally located Airbnb in an ideal area, this is the place! Attractions are close by which includes, Thrift Shops, Corner Stores, Cafes, Bars, Restaurants, and Taksim Square. Metro Transportation and Taxis are always present, which alleviates confusion when traveling to other locations. I thoroughly enjoyed the small tokens given upon arrival along with others present in the room. I was really surprised when I saw the big screen entertainment system including, cable tv, Netflix and Play station for my kids. In case you forget to pack toothpaste as I did, Missy provides toiletries! Communication was smooth, and she was quick to respond to any small demands. … I hope all future Airbnb-ers enjoys her place!” Baha - April 2019
 
“Great location at the heart of Istiklal street and Galata tower areas. The apartment is spacious, very functional with fully equipped kitchen. While enjoying the bustling Istiklal street with all the street singers and crowds, once inside the apartment you don't hear the noise and can sleep peacefully. But most importantly Missy is one of the best AirBnB hosts we have ever experienced. Missy went the extra mile to make our stay easy and enjoyable. She provided all kind of support to accommodate our queries. Highly recommended for Istanbul visitors.” Salah-Eddine - August 2021
 
“We can’t find the words to describe our experience; super host is the least what you can say about Missy; from the moment we booked till the last second, our host supported us with everything needed; the apartment is in the middle of Istiklal street with a view on the main street; You can enjoy both peacefulness of the apartment and the crowded street depending to your mood and desire; the apartment is spacious and full of commodities with a remarkable modern style although it is in an old renovated building; would highly recommend for a family or group of friends; me and my family look forward to visit Istanbul again and be hosted by Missy at her apartment; Thank you Missy for the wonderful experience 😊” Samer - February 2021
 
“Our stay at Missy’s place was just amazing! It was the perfect place for our family reunion. The apartment is spacious and has lots of room in the bedrooms and common spaces. Every area had a cozy and warm touch, from the big living room which allowed us to sit together to the big dining area and the fully equipped kitchen which gave us space to enjoy our meals. The rooms were so comfortable and every detail had been thought of. Linen, toiletries, snacks, etc had been carefully laid out in different areas of the house. The apartment was equipped with strong air conditioners which kept our place very cool in the immense heat. The apartment had good security as well and that made us feel safe. In addition, Missy was a really good host. She responded promptly and answered all of our questions without any delay. Thank you Missy for making our stay memorable!” Yahya - July 2019

The apartment is located in the heart of Istiklal street. It is well designed and decorated. You can find everything you want in this apartment for your stay. Definitely recommended. Will stay here anytime I go to Istanbul with my family in the future.” Mohammad - January 2022
