I really fell in lovely with this place!
I loved the location in the heart of Galata, really close to the Beyoğlu Tünel station, Şişhane Metro and tons of fantastic cafes and shops all around.
I was pleased to discover that the flat was exactly as shown in the photos. As previous reviewers have mentioned, it's in the music store district so on occasion, you can hear a muffled base in the day but I actually found this quite soothing (that could just be me though!). Given the central location, there is some street noise and the bedroom wasn't totally dark as the blinds aren't blackout - fine for me but may bother light sleepers.
I was staying by myself and always felt very secure in the flat as well as walking through the surrounding area on the way back to my flat late at night. The owners of the Turkish pizza place right next door are very friendly and tend to be around early in the morning and late at night, which was another aspect that contributed to making me feel secure.
Nevzat was a great host and was always very responsive whenever I needed to get in touch with him about something. We didn't get to meet in person but the couple of requests I had during my stay were promptly attended to.
Thanks Nevzat! Loved the place and I hope to have the chance to come back soon!
