Pros: Ayla is such a warm host, good communicator, responded quickly to all our needs.
The location is excellent- in the heart of Galata neighbourhood, close to all restos and bars, properly for youngsters and nightlife
Cons:
The room needs RENOVATION. The bathroom is full of mold, everything seems to fall apart, the sheets and towels are full of stains, there is a continous noise inside the room because of the heating system and the fridge next to the beds, crowded space-the balcony is one person maximum capacity, designed unefficiently, the windows hardly close, so all the barbecue smells from outside infuse the room. not to mention the noise and the cold.
All in one, I recommend staying in a proper hotel room if you choose that area.
