Aytu is very kind and friendly person, it’s a pleasure to communicate with him. Don’t hesitate to ask anything, he is very responsive. The apartment is nicely located: it’s near Taksim Square (upstairs) and in 5 minutes to tram station (downstairs) in direction to the Eminönü. Be prepared to walking on the hills. Also the ferry station in 12 minutes by foot. The bed is very soft and comfortable. Some of the furniture is in vintage style (chair, desk, wardrobe). Kitchen sometimes was not clean enough and welcoming to cook. The host is smoking, but he took care of me and ventilated very well. I recommend for short stays.
