Eyp was a great host. On the first day the check in process was very simple he walked us through the entire apartment and showed us everything. He also walked us over to a nearby cellphone store so we could get Turkish SIM cards. He also gave us many recommendations on local places to eat at and exchange money. The place was clean, modern, and very spacious. We were a family of 5 and we fit very comfortably. The apartment is located on top of a hill so, sometimes taxis don’t like going all the way up, and it can be tiring walking up the hill for older people . Other than that the location is perfect. It’s right next to Galata tower and istiklal street. There is also a metro station 5 minute walk away. I high recommend this place if you are planning on staying in Istanbul, especially if you have a longer trip.
