Evrim’s apartment was exactly as described in the listing. Very clean, beautifully and classically decorated. All amenities needed included in the apartment. He was a good host, very flexible around our check in time after a late flight. The location is perfect, a step away from Galata Tower and all the restaurants and cute shops on the doorstep. The only improvement could be the heating, which at times was a little cold - however I stayed in the middle of a freak snow storm so its to be expected, and worth sacrificing for such a charismatic apartment with high ceilings and natural features. (This was on my last day so I didn’t try and resolve) Would definitely recommend staying here if you want authentic accommodation in the heart of such a nice district and a hospitable host.
