The Place: Behic's place is right in the heart of the action! That means easy walk (yes we walked) to all the main attractions like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Spice Bazar, Grand Bazar, and of course- you are literally living at the Galata tower! If you want a taxi- it is right by the entrance. And don't even think about going anywhere else for cafes, restaurants, etc....they are all within easy walking blocks away...from right next to your entrance all the way to a 15 minute walk to Taksim square. The only dings I had on the place are are it is a bit scantly appointed and street level noise. I am used to seeing basic things from past guests at ABNBs like washing supplies, left over spices, etc. On the noise front- listen if you're gonna stay IN the middle of the action- that's the cost you have to pay- but can inhibit sleep.
The Host: Behic was phenomenal. He told us everything we needed to know, offered pick and drop off service. He also helped us find a grocery store for day 1.
