Lovely apartment, situated in an incredible location. Everything you need is literally within 3-5mins walking time. Restaurants, Jazz bars, Cafes, Istiklal Street, Galata Tower, Karakoy, Galata Bridge - all of it is literally walkable, even Taksim Square. The metro, tram, furnicular etc are all close by. The supermarket and pharmacy is very close, to buy anything you need.
The apartment itself is big, spacious, clean, bright and happy. It has all the appliances you could need, crockery, cutlery, 24hrs hot water and electricity. We didnt use the air conditioning as the open windows were enough while we were here. The beds were lovely and very comfortable and has us asleep within minutes of lying down. Despite the lively neighbourhood, noise levels were well-contained and did not disturb us.
Erdem is a great host who goes that extra distance to make his guests comfortable, and yet never oversteps the guests' personal space, which is always appreciated. Check-in/Check-out, airport transfers were all handled well and very professionally.
Highly recommend this place for comfort, sleep quality, amenities, value-for-money.
