Location: The house is ideally located just 1 min walking from Galata Tower (you can even see it if you look to your right from the front window). This location puts the apartment in the perfect spot for visitors, because you are next to one of the main attractions, there are restaurants and bars around, Istiklal street is just 5 minutes walking to the north, Galata Bridge is 5 mins walking to the south (it took us 40 mins on foot to get from the apartment to Hagia Sophia and we even visited the spices bazar in between), there are always people around and the neighbourhood is safe.
Apartment: The apartment is as listed: 2 big bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen and a big sitting room. It was very clean when we arrived and everything was set, like towels, sheets, toilet paper etc.
Host: He was very friendly since the first approach (before we even booked the house) and remained so even until we had completed the payment. He speaks decent english and was informative!
