Eyüp was a very thoughtful and gracious host who responded to our inquiries promptly, ensured the apartment was in tip-top shape, and offered us some great tips for exploring Istanbul (esp. Galata and Karaköy). The unit was clean and well equipped, and the views from the rooftop terrace were amazing. The neighborhood is quiet and the apartment is conveniently located just a few minutes from public transportation and dining/shopping areas. For couples visiting Istanbul, we highly recommend Eyüp's apartment!
