My family and I stayed a week at Oval's. I can just describe it as home away from home.
The host was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful from the outset.
The apartment itself is really amazing. It is sparkling clean and with great design. The patio was awesome.
From the moment we stepped into the building, the cleaning ladies at the bottom flats were very inviting. One even offered some grapes upon seeing us arriving and tired from the airport.
What tops it all is the location. It is less than 7 min walk from Tophane station, Galataport and Galata Tower. It's 10min. walk from Alistiqlal Street. Around it are great restos and beautiful neighborhood. We found great hidden bookstores (used and new).
We will definitely lodge in the same place next time.
Thank you Oval for making our stay so amazing.
