We had a perfect time in one of the apartments of Fatih close to the Galata Tower. It was our first time in Istanbul and we enjoyed every minute and sure come back one day. The room we have rented in combination with the host Fatih was everything you would hope for. Clean in good order and a good guidance of the host from the pick up to the details of the city and the way back to the airport. I would go back myself for sure to the same place bacause the tower is a good reference from every place you are in the city to recognise the place where you stay. I felt really safe also with the hospital across the street
