This is the 2nd time we've stayed at one of Faruk's places. This time, we booked this place because we needed room for 3 travellers. Faruk kindly sent his friend to meet my father at his check-in time; as my father is older and it was his first time in Istanbul, this welcome was very appreciated. The apartment is small but suited our needs just fine. We used the kitchen daily for breakfasts. The area is super walkable and we made use of the transit system daily as it's easy to access from the location. Galata Tower area is busy, so expect some noise. We never had problems sleeping. Faruk was again super responsive to any questions we had before or during our stay. Once again, I'd recommend this place.
