Host was EXTREMELY responsive, accommodating, and helpful. Answered any questions i had and provided any info requested. Flat is in a GREAT area, extremely close to Galata tower, lots of great restaurants and stores nearby. Walkable distance to Galata bridge. Flat was extremely clean and cozy, also had a lot of space. The balcony also has an INCREDIBLE view of the Bosphorus at sunrise/sunset. Felt extremely safe and happy on our first trip to Turkey.
