Alper is a very nice host. Don't hesitate to ask him about anything, he will respond.
Coffee machine, washing machine, dryer, XBox and TV, even a small but sweet acoustic system, are present.
The flat is cozy, a lot of light, rooms are clean, everything is relevant to what you can see on the photos.
You can hear the neighbors talking quite well, but they are absolutely quiet at the night time.
The flat is 3 minutes walking to bus stop and maybe 5 mins to ferry station. About 15 mins to Galata bridge, both bus and ferry. Plenty of cafes and some restaurants in the area.
We were visiting in the end of February, but we didn't have a chance to get cold - heaters were working very well. Not much tourists could be seen on the streets of the neighborhood.
