Erdem is a fantastic host. We are a group of 9 had a memorable stay at the apartment. The apartment was exactly as advertised and fully equipped with all you need for cooking, washing, etc. The place is within walking distance to many tourist spots (Galata tower, istiklal street, Galata ports, etc) albeit the hilly steps. There are many cafes and convenience shops nearby to buy essential items for our needs. Would highly recommend Erdem's place.
