Staying at Eyüp’s place was a delight. We reserved last minute because our other place fell through and he was quick to respond. His place is between Tophane tram station and Galatea tower on a steep hill. The apartment was on the first floor (above the ground floor) with around 20-30 stairs to get up. It is definitely more difficult for those with mobility issues.
The bathroom was very clean and he had clean towels and a welcome basket with goodies (a really sweet touch)! Everything was functioning well including the WIFI. The only thing I would say it’s a bit smaller than the images make it seem (maybe because of a wide angle camera).
The highlight of the was the private Hamam available for booking. If it’s available, it’s free during the daytime and 30 TL per group after hours. It was really nice to just go and relax there. It included a Sauna and a Hamam room. There are no people to help so you are on your own :)
