This place has loads of personality and vibe. The walls are colourful and the ceilings are high. I really loved crashing there after a long day of exploring.
Beyza spoke perfect English (helping out Recep) and was really quick and easy to communicate with. The apartment is on a nice quiet road, very near to all the action in Galata. There's a mosque outside the bedroom window, so the call to prayer might wake you, but that's part of being in Istanbul, in my opinion.
The block's entrance, stairs and terrace was very dirty, but the apartment itself was lovely and clean.
Overall, I loved it here. Would highly recommend it as a place to explore Istanbul from. Thanks Beyza (and Recep) :)
