Evrim's place is even better than its positive reviews. Let's start: Evrim is a nice, kind and very helpful host. He was available all the time for us and answered any question in just a few minutes, which is very helpful when you are visiting a foreign country. His beautiful place is tastefully decorated, has a well equipped kitchen, hot showers, very comfortable, sparkly clean, with everything necessary to feel at home. The location cannot be better, just a few steps from the famous Galata tower, and a very vibrant neighborhood, with amazing stores and restaurants, so there's no need to cook. The Privato cafe across the street has great food, affordable and good service. Another cool eatery is the Nakka bistro, next store to Evrim's. It's inexpensive and tasty. When we return one day to this amazing city, I hope to stay at Evrim's place again.
