Melis is an exceptional host. She ensured all boxes were ticked and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The listing was accurate to the last word. The apartment is a stone's throw away from Galatta tower in Beyoglyu, and a 5 minute walk to Taksim square.

Melis and her husband were available when we checked in and checked out and had regular touch-points to ensure everything was fine. She had excellent recommendations on the local pubs, brunch spots and transportation. The apartment was stocked with water, snacks, wine and basic essentials. If you need something in the historic district- this is definitely a place to consider.
