This place was a bit disappointing and frustrating. On one hand the location is fantastic as it is right in the Galata area with beautiful boutiques all around, the Galata towers just a stroll down the cobblestone street, and one of the best brunch places in the city just down the hill (Arada Cafe). The windows and light in the place were lovely. However, the photos definitely made it seem larger than it is - it seems they were taken with a fish-eye lens. It was sufficient for a few days, but couldn't imagine a longer stay - especially with such a limited kitchen. For a short stay there was no coffee apparatus or drinking water (the owners advised that I grab a large bottle before entering on the first night, which was helpful). The bathroom toilet barely flushed, the shower doors kept coming off, the shower had trouble draining and things stayed a bit damp in the bathroom.
Moreover, the owner, while very responsive, was also quite patronizing. He chastised me for not taking the transportation that he advised and said he "will be the one" who will "tell me" what transportation I will take. I have traveled and lived all over the world. It was uncalled for. I also was arriving alone as a female, late at night (as my husband was meeting me there the next day) and he agreed to meet me at a central known location (easy for a taxi driver to know) but it would have been much more relaxing and easy for me to just have a lock box with instructions. I was uneasy walking into an apartment alone at night with a man I didn't know. He was also rather terse and seemed to criticize the way I did little things, like putting the key in the door, etc.
So, great location, and definitely worked for a few days of tripping around the city, but there was some annoying aspects to the stay as well.
