Eyup's place is in a great location, with a stunning view of the Galata tower and walking distance to great local cafes, restaurants and galleries. Eyüp is a fantastic host who goes out of his way to ensure that guests are comfortable. He has some great tips about the local area and always responds quickly to messages. We loved our stay in the apartment and would highly recommend for anyone visiting Istanbul. It's an easy walk to taksim square or across the Galata bridge to Sultanahmet and the major sites. We preferred Beyoglu area (where the apartment is) to Sultanahmet as the area is less touristy and lively at night! Thanks Eyüp!
