The hosts were excellent. They were extremely helpful and friendly. They were available on the phone to help/answer all our queries regarding local transport, things to see etc.
If you are a tourist then you cannot ask for a better location. You have restaurants and cafes on their street. Galata Tower is right there. Places like the istiklal street spice bazar, Galata Port are walking distance. You can walk to the metro/tram station.
i would highly recommend Melis's place.d
