The best feature of Can's place is that it is in a stellar location, very near to the Galata Tower and Galataport. There are lots of shops and good restaurants and it's easy to navigate around the city and get to the main attractions from his place. Although located in a busy zone, the apartment building itself is tucked away from the noise so it is quite quiet at night. There was plenty of room for us (four women friends), the shower had lots of hot water and good pressure, and there were 6 bolt locks on the door, plus a locked entry, so we always felt very secure (also in the neighbourhood - no problems at all). A couple of improvements would make this place go from "good" to "excellent", namely new pillows, and more cooking utensils and equipment in the kitchen. The pillows were very lumpy and uncomfortable.
