Ismail received us so nicely, they waited for me and my friends to come from the airport, the apartment is better than in the pictures, not too big but the beds are bigger than they look in the photos, two adults can sleep comfortably, i was worried about that so Ismail prepared extra sheets in case we wanted to sleep on the couch in the livingroom too. They have masks, gloves and sanitizer for guests in the apartment, and water as well for the guests. The place is very clean, it is an old building but there are no smells. There is no AC but the apartment is really cool so it was even better. There is no elevator but it is only the second floor, and the staircase is wide, not difficult to go up with luggage. They had extra clean towels, toiletries available, a hairdryer, iron and washing machine and drying rack for clothes. The shower is a bit cold in the beginning till warms up, but then it’s hot and doesn’t run out of hot water even if we were four people all of us taking (not short) showers in the evenings. There is a kitchen you can easily use for cooking, they have everything you need, we thought we will cook but didn’t have time and it was so much better to try the local food. No shoes in the house but the wooden floors were very nice and clean. The roof terrace is fantastic with the views to sit at in the evenings, and have early breakfasts while it’s not too hot, watching the huge flocks of storks over the Bosphorus, we absolutely loved it!! The area was very quiet in the evenings during these pandemic times so we were happy to be so central, it is two minutes from the Galata tower and nice cafes, 30-40min walk across the Golden Horn bridge towards Aya Sofia and Grand Bazaar, and a much nicer area to stay in. They recommended us great places for local food and baklava, and helped a lot with figuring out public transport, prices, ferries. The communication was quick and clear. I would definitely stay here again.
