We enjoyed stay in Idil’s charming home in Galata. Very central location, steps from Galata tower. From here, we were able to walk all around the European side, walk over the bridge to see mosques and the other sights, and a short walk to the ferry in Kadikoy. The coffee and drinking water, clean towels, snacks, fans and washer were all appreciated. Idil was responsive and flexible about our check in and check out times. A great host!
