Ilayda was an excellent host. Quickly to reply to any of our questions. We asked if we could deposit out luggage early in the morning before check-in and she took care of that. The location is super ideal. 2 minutes walk from Galata tower, Sishane metro station, taksim-karakoy tunnel and isteklal street. So it's super convenient to get anywhere from the apartment. The apartment was air-conditioned (when we entered the rooms were freezing cold on a hot summers day) and had all basic amenities. I would reccomend this place for long term stay.
