We give Baylo Suites 10 out of 10 for the three criteria: location and setting, flat and other facilities, and Zeynep and her team. Baylo is between Galata Tower and Galata Bridge in a "real" neighborhood (school, mosque, church, markets, bakers, bars and restaurants) with winding cobblestone streets; tram, metro, bus are handy. The flat is in a beautifully restored, historic 1880s building, with exposed brick, arched ceilings, and all modern, quality facilities; best is the marble spiral stairs to the 5th floor terrace with expansive city views, where we had morning espresso, evening wine. Zeynep and her partner Selmin are lovely hostesses, attending to everything and helping us understand Istanbul and Turkey; her team is thorough and responsive. Baylo is not only a terrific experience, it's a great value. We highly recommend it; we'll be back soon!
