We stayed here for 4 nights. Yasar is a great host and a very kind and reliable person. He did all he could to make our experience good, also he was available at all times via Whatsapp and promptly answered to any question. However, I am not sure I would recommend this accomodation fully, mainly because of its location and because the apt needs some fixes. PROS: It is very central in Pera (above Galata, a 25 min downslide walk to the tower); less than 10 min walk to Taksim Square, which is a commute point for metro and others, plus is 5 mins to a wide street with a bus station where you easily take a bus to the city centre (Sultanahmed is an about 20min commute, which is good). CONS: The location is EXTREMELY noisy, to the point that is really hard to sleep without earplugs, and can be hard with them nonetheless. Discopubs, cars honking, people shouting (night and morning) can really worsen your experience. The apartment is nice but worn out in some aspects. Our bed mattress (the one in the bedroom facing the street) was worn out and sinking in, making it uncomfortable. The rest of the apartment is quite essential but functional. In general we didn't fully dislike the experience, but the noise issue can really be a pain.
