Akif and his brother were very helpful during the stay. Whenever we needed they were available to chat and help. Despite the late check out for us there was no issues. The location is very beautiful and house is very big and clean. Unfortunately, during our visit there were renovations of the balconies which were blocking “that Galata view” of the house. There is parking next to it with affordable price (130 TL per day). Taksim is 7-10 min by walking and the metro station along with always standing available taxis.
