The host is amazing, very friendly and welcoming. He is also accurate, he welcomed us on time in his apartment. The apartment is situated in a very good location - in very close proximity to Tophane, and close to Galata Tower, Istiklal Avenue, Taksim Square. The newly build Galata Port, which is full of various restaurants, cafes, etc. is also in very close proximity. Transportationwise- the tram stop of Tophane is within 5 mins walking distance.
