Lovely cozy place, like a home away from home! Spacious, clean, warm, quiet, and everything you need. Things I liked - cozy sofa (& tv with netflix), good sized kitchen & dining table, quiet street with nice cafes, cozy bedroom and the bathroom is spacious & clean with a good size shower. The location is perfect - 5 mins walk to Galata tower, 10 to Istyklal Street, and a few minutes to Tophane tram station to get to other places like Sultanahmet. This area is my favourite - lots of cool small cafes, restaurants, shops where you can feel the energy of Beyoglu & fall in love with Istanbul. Kardelen & Ezgi were easy to contact & very helpful - and there were nice details that made our stay comfortable like disposable slippers, soaps, mineral water and other things. It was easy to find the place, and check in/out. NOTE - the Airbnb map isn't quite right, this apartment is actually closer to Galata tower. Definitely recommended for both short or long stays!
