Fatih is an attentive host, and this particular apartment is great.
Fatih runs a tight ship, with all the details thought through in advance, small things foreseen etc. We were thankful to Fatih for readiness to support us with such requests as getting us an iron or advising us where to eat midiye. He is extremely forthcoming and responsive - a great host.
The apartment is located very close to the metro station - about 300m away, post a short hike up a hill. This means all of the Istanbul along the metro lines is easily accessible. There are several cafés just around the corner as well as a small grocery store. The whole experience of the neighborhood made me reminiscent of the days in New York - I'd say, Galata is the West Village of Istanbul.
The apartment (actually, a studio) is drenched in sunlight and is very nicely setup - all the basics are in place. It looks the way it looks on the pictures. If you are a line traveller or a couple, go fir this place!
