The place is walking distance from Istiklal (7m) and Galata tower (5m). There is a steep hill towards the Mai. Street, but Istanbul is hilly. I stayed at Ibrahim’s house for 2 months and he was consistently hospitable; asking if I needed anything almost every week as well as being a good resource for almost things.
When there was issues he was quick to respond (there was no water in the building for my last 2 days), and tried his best to resolve the situation.
Great host
Good internet speed
Nice apartment (looks like the picture)
I would recommend. :)
