Excellent apartment. Excellent location. Excellent hosts. Quiet despite being in busy area. Many restaurants, bakeries, etc nearby. Appreciate having the microwave and washing machine. And very comfortable beds. Good supply of towels ( which many Airbnbs do not adequately supply.) Host helped guide our taxi to apartment late at night over phone. Very responsive to all needs and inquiries. Up a few flights of steps . No problem for us. Minimarket literally next door. Larger ones close by. Sishane Metro around corner. Short walk to Galata Tower.
