I would definitely recommend!
The transfer driver was friendly and he ensured that I found him easily. Hasan met me at the apartment. Hasan was extremely thoughtful. It was a nice touch that coffee, two cold drinks, disposable gloves and slippers, a large pack of disposable masks, and hand cleanser were provided.
Anything I needed - taxi, local information, extra towels, fresh sheets, luggage scale - just Whats App Hasan. You'll get a friendly and timely response! Hasan also showed me where to get a bus back to the airport on my departure.
Hasan also gave me with a map and a Istanbul travel card. I also enjoyed my conversations with Hasan. It was great to learn more about Turkish history, culture, and politics. I found his conversations refreshing and insightful.
Location is perfect. The streets were charming. Around 7 mins walk from Taksim Square. There are grocery stores, ATM, many food places, and cute stores in the immediate area. It was also very quiet area. Great base to explore the wider area.
In terms of accessibility, do note that the apartment is on the 5th floor and the stairs are circular and somewhat uneven. However, I had a really good workout and the view is stunning! The balcony is a fantastic space to relax and marvel at Galata Tower and the beautiful architecture!
