Can and Sena are incredibly responsive hosts, always very kind and helpful and always responded within minutes. The apartment was very clean and very comfortable, including the bed. The location is great - the tram and Galata Tower are both within a 10 minute walk and the metro and the Galataport walkway are within a 15 minute walk. The Karakoy ferry terminal is also a short walk away. The street itself is a pretty quiet street but you do hear every single noise from the street so that might be an issue for very light sleepers. The street is also on an incline and in the apartment there is a big step up from the bedroom to the kitchen and bathroom. Beyond that, the kitchen could be better stocked (with a sponge and cooking oil among other things) but it was a great stay and I would definitely book it again.
