What a great find! This home was beautiful, luxurious, and comfortable. My family and I enjoyed hanging out in the living room together for hours almost as much as enjoying the attractions outside nearby. The home is just as it looks in the pictures and the location was excellent - steps away from Galata tower, close to Taksim, and about 5 min walk from the tram to get to other attractions like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Grand Bazaar quickly. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing full meals too. At first we were concerned that this was not a real listing because on google maps it looks like a busy shopping street, but the entrance is kind of secret amongst the shops and a door opens to a beautiful, private residential entryway. Excellent communication and suggestions from host as well.
