The location of the apartment is great. Close to Galata Tower and super easy walking distance to all areas of Beyoglu. Very close to the metro, funicular and tunel (the latter two are wonderful!) to get to the Galata Bridge very quickly and walk or ride across to the Topkapi Palace, ferries to Asian side etc. Very near lots of restaurants (both traditional, modern casual and upscale) and bars but not right on top of them so you won't be distrurbed at night. Close to shops for provisions etc.

The apartment itself is exactly as in the photos. It was very clean, spacious and newly (and tastefully) decorated with quality fittings.

Communication with Aylin was good. She met us and made us feel welcome and was helpful re ideas of places to eat. We had a problem connecting to the wifi at first and she came and sorted that out very quickly.

This apartment is four flights up - which means it is light and has a terrace. Really good blinds and curtains make for a good night's sleep so were appreciated! There is a good aircon system that can be used to warm up or cool down as needed.

We'd stay again!
