Best apartment we could have picked! I really felt like a home. The location was perfect. It was walking distance from all the things we wanted to see (the Galata tower, the old town, the river, etc). A lot of cute vintage shops around, cute restaurants everywhere. The host replied to all my questions on whatsapp. His English was really good and his replies were all within 5 minutes of me sending him a message. I would definitely book this apartment again.
