We booked Omer's place as a last-minute fallback due to our other Airbnb reservation falling through. The place is more of a hotel/hostel, which has its perks even if it lacks character. When we were a bit lost getting there, the staff went out in search of us and anytime we needed anything someone was there to help. Due to it being the tourist off-season in Istanbul and perhaps our last-minute booking, a couple things about the apartment were not in perfect condition, but in general the place was great. The view from the roof is phenomenal and the location at the Galata Tower was ideal for seeing all the sights in the city.
