Ferhat's apartment worked great for our family of 6 adults and 1 child. The bed's show as doubles in the listing, but they are larger than doubles (in American bed size terms), they are at least queen size - so that was a pleasant surprise. The dining table and chairs gave us the perfect amount of space to eat our own breakfasts - and the kitchen was well outfitted with pans and cooking items. The air conditioning worked well when it was warm and there are extra blankets in the closets if it gets cold at night. The location is super close to everything in the Galata area - there are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. I'd highly recommend Tünel Buselik for a gorgeous rooftop dinner with amazing views, it's a 3 min walk and very affordable. Güney Restaurant was our go-to breakfast/lunch/coffee/tea/beer spot. Also, SaltBae near Galata Tower has delicious burgers and milkshakes. Our family is always concerned about safety, and Ferhat's front door has a good number of locks, plus an interior safe to keep your personal items if needed. The building also has a main door that remains locked late at night until morning. The area us bustling with people all day and night, and never felt unsafe. You will hear noise from the streets at night, but that's to be expected with city living. The only thing worth mentioning is that the stairs are not the easiest for those who are older - we had our elderly parents with us and they were able to do it, but it was tougher for them. If you are young and strong, they are good exercise! We had a LOT of luggage, so it's something to think about. Ferhat was very helpful to us getting our luggage in. I also think that most buildings in the area do not have elevators, so it's more of a norm. Some of the area just south of the apartment has some very steep hills, but when you walk north towards Istiklal Street, you will find flat areas to walk. We often walked to a market called Yıldırım Gıda and the owners were super friendly and helped with all of our grocery needs. It seemed to us that most of the people we met in the building were also visiting like us, so you can meet fellow travelers. If you're young and want to be close to all the action, this apartment is perfect for you! Like everyone else mentioned, Ferhat was very attentive to our needs and answered all of our questions before and during our stay. Thanks, Ferhat!
