Nice stay right by the Galata Tower. The apartment feels a bit like a student/graduate house (and I even wonder if the people are actually subletting it on Airbnb) and it's slightly 'rustic', so if you're looking for somewhere more fancy or romantic I wouldn't recommend this place. The apartment is really well equipped with two bedrooms a living room and dining room. It's on the third floor so would be a bit of a struggle if you have heavy luggage. Some noise is to be to expected in this area as it's so central and Istanbul is busy. I wouldn't exactly describe Furkan's welcome as being very warm, but he was easy to communicate on Whatsapp and helpful.
