First, the apartment is located in the best area of Beyoglu (the neighbourhood where you want to stay), just between the Galata Tower (5mins) and the bridge (7mins) which is an excellent thing when you are visiting Istanbul. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, with a nice warm energy and nice little practical conveniences. The main museums are around and some of the best restaurants in Istanbul too. It was very important for me to be in a neighborhood that is inspiring and that was the case here. The studio is much better in real life than in the photos. Japanese style, with very high ceilings and large windows. The bed is very comfortable too, which is not always the case. It is possible to cook in the studio, but there is also a full kitchen downstairs for more elaborate dishes + modern washer and dryer. George responds quickly and speaks perfect English. The place is easy to find for taxis and to navigate too. I did this rental while waiting for another that I had booked for the next two months (bigger, but in a much less interesting area of Beyoglu). If I had known, I would have stayed here for the next two months I will spend in Istanbul! The next time I come back here for the whole duration for sure.
