This apartment was comfortable, had everything necessary in it, and was in a perfect location, just a few minutes walk to the Galata Tower with plenty of choices for food, coffee, drinks and entertainment. Also many great shops to stroll through. It had a great mix of locals and tourists so didn't have over crowded areas but still had a great authentic feel to it.
Izel (Doret's brother) could not have been a better host, he was there to greet us, gave us a tour of the area showing all the necessary places (ATM, supermarket etc) as well as the best places to visit. He gave us a metro card for travel and also a mobile phone to contact him and to make local calls on. When my husband became ill Izel came to the apartment, contacted his own doctor and took him to the hospital to receive treatment and then kept in contact to ensure all was good!! This would have been a very difficult situation without his help.
I would definitely stay at this apartment again.
