I stayed here for over a month and had a really wonderful time. The apartment is the perfect size for one or two people, and is in a great location- a two minute walk to galata tower but the street itself is quiet, beautiful and doesn’t feel touristy at all. There are some really nice cafes and eateries nearby. I would say the location couldn’t be better. The apartment itself is in an old style building with lots of wood. Arda has many plants and books which make the place feel homey and stylish. There’s also a little balcony that brings in a nice breeze. Arda is a great host, very communicative and helpful, and also helped me practice my Turkish :) just a few notes: 1) the apt is on the 6th floor with no elevator, so be prepared for that. I appreciated the workout:) 2) the kitchen is quite small, I wouldn’t expect to be cooking elaborate full meals but it has all the essentials - fridge, stove, small oven. 3) no AC, which means it gets hot during the day in the peak summer months. At night the breeze is great though. Overall, I love this place!
