We would recommend staying in a hotel with plenty of good reviews rather than an AirBnB. AirBnBs can be unreliable and we want all of our loved ones to be comfortable during your time in Istanbul. If you do prefer an AirBnB or apartment-style room, we would suggest finding it through Booking.com or making sure there are lots of great reviews. We've suggested some hotels and some neighborhoods to stay below, if you have any questions or need help working out where to stay, please don't hesitate to ask Ezgi or Josh.

Josh, Ezgi, and their family and bridal party will be staying in the Galata/Karakoy region. While this isn't the main historic / tourist area, it is not too far from the Old City, has easy access to public transport, and is convenient to reach the wedding venues.

Some recommendations in that area are:

Meroddi Pera Flats this is where Josh and Ezgi are staying!

Meroddi Barnathan Hotel - a short walk to the flats

The Bank Hotel Istanbul - another option nearby

If you're only staying in Istanbul for a couple of days, you may want to consider staying in Istanbul's Old City so that you have plenty of time to visit the beautiful historic sites.

Some recommendations in that area are:

Radisson Hotel Istanbul Sultanahmet

Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel Istanbul
