Great stay in Berk's place on Camci Fevci in Galata. Happy to recommend as five star :). We researched a lot for our extended 11-day stay. Four guests (parents+ two adult kids) with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Space to come together in the living room and spread out. Ground floor location means easy entry and exit, and with strong security with gates and black-out curtains for privicy and comfort. Ideally, we would have preferred 2 full baths, but the balance of location size and price were the deciding factors. Some places have rooftop access for the view and instagram moments, but really those are used once and are available at any roof-top bar/restaurant or the Galata tower. Berk and Byron are easily available on WhatsApp or telephone. House instructions are clear and consise, and check-out is leave the keys and depart (which is really easy and nice). Ongoing trash is easily bagged and dropped at dumpsters at top or bottom of street. Clean and in the center of things in Galata; mid-hill from below bosphorous to top Istkidal street (main walking and restaurant street). Istanbul is lots of walking and hills ven with public transport and taxi service (which are readily available). Convenience stores around as well as some local Pide and food places. Had a strong storm, and two bathroom drains backed up; quickly addressed by Berk and Byron (local house manager; little english, but he tries hard and is so nice, you can't help but like him). Was somewhat rainy during our visit, so with only a washing machine, made drying a challenge; this is unusual for istanbul in summer and most places do not have a dryer; we made good use of the drying rack and covered porch area, but it still had clothes hanging around drying. Quick dry clothes instead of cotton/linen would have made things easier. We didn't turn on the TV once, there's just so much to do. Only downtime was on Sunday, when covid restrictions limit in-restaurant dining, but hopefully that'll be done with soon. Wifi is a slow when kids streamed, but I think this is pretty normal for istanbul where they're upgrading the infrastructure. 4G is the norm, with goo coverage at Berk's place, and remember to buy your SIM cards at a local shop (not the places/scammers at the airport);something to do on day one if you can manage to be offline for the first hours upon arrival :)
