I stayed at Zeynep’s for 5 nights with my parents and an infant who’s <2 years. The check in experience was smooth. The communication and directions from Zeynep were prompt and specific. She had someone show us into the apartment and we left the keys on the table before we left. The views are stunning, the space in the house was large and open. The house done up very tastefully. The wifi network worked very well in all parts of the house. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen very usable. Zeynep has a great drip coffee machine. Make sure to carry/ buy your filters and your coffee powder to be able to use it. The location by Galata Tower is quite central but the house is in a street that’s not busy or crowded. And the access to the tram station or the metro stop didn’t need us to walk through the Main Street either. Just be aware that the house is located in a hilly area and needs a fair bit of climbing up or down slopes to get around. Zeynep was prompt and available to answer all of my questions during my stay, including providing recommendations of things to see / eat at in the neighbourhood. The walk to the T1 tram stop at Tophane was about 10 minutes down a slope and the walk to Sishane metro station was about 7 minutes, but this one an uphill climb
