Osman was a fantastic host from the very start - quick responses to any concerns we had, arranging airport transfers, and going the extra mile in helping with our early check in and check out. The apartment is conveniently located in a quiet neighbourhood that’s close to a square with several bars and restaurants and a supermarket. As described, the view from the terrace is amazing, especially at night when Galata Tower lights up, but pls do note there are several steps leading up to the apartment (though Osman was super helpful with the luggages for this part so you really don’t have to worry about that). Osman also added some small personal touches eg lending us an Istanbulkaart, that made our stay even more enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend his apartment for anyone visiting Istanbul who wants to live in comfort!
