Izel is a wonderful host and super accommodating, who has a terrific list of things to do/see and places to eat, explore and relax in the city. The apartment is beautifully located, bright and nicely furnished. The neighborhood is vibrant, with lots of eating options, supermarkets etc and Galata Tower is a 2 minute walk uphill! Really enjoyed our stay here.
Only con: hard to find taxis at this location, which usually isn’t an issue if you’re able to walk 3-4 minutes up/downhill (my mother has rheumatism so was a bit challenging but Izel went out of his way to help us navigate the space and figure out how best to get around).
