Alp was a very communicative host, replying immediately to all issues that may have come up and made sure our stay (incl. check-in and check-out) was as smooth as possible. The apartment is located in a great area, with lots of bars, restaurants, and little streets to explore. It's close to the Pera Palace, which was very exciting for us! Also, it's only a few-minute walk away from the Galata tower. We found everything as described in the listing - very clean, all appliances we needed were available, and the size of the apartment is perfect for 3 to 4 people. We stayed for six nights and I would highly recommend this place to anyone planning on visiting Istanbul!
