It's a great apartment, I highly recommend it! In the center of the Galata neighborhood - walking distance to the tram, metro, and ferry. The apartment is tight but has everything you need and the bathroom is a good size. Beds are comfy. Definitely be ready for tight, narrow stairs as the apartment is the third floor of a beautiful historic building, and if you're sensitive to noise at night, bring earplugs as there is a mosque immediately next door. Mesut is a great host who offered to help us out in every way he could, it was also really nice that he left a jug of drinking water for us.
