i have stayed 12 days in this apartment and i have to say it is one of the best stay i had on this app so far.
-check in: through whatsap, Fatih helped us with transportation and showed us evthg we may need. even though we arrived at midnight, he was there to welcome us and show us around. Fatih really goes the extra mile for his guests. on our day before last my daughter fell while we were sightseeing and Fatih (the host) helped me take her to the hospital and get her checked properly. i am forever grateful.
-the place: a very nice apartment with 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms the beds are big and the living room sofa is also usable to sleep on.
kitchen is cute and has what you may need to cook or heat up food. the buiding is "d'epoque" but the appartment renovated. right by the door of the building there is a cafe called willy wonka that has very nice desserts 🍨.
my family and i have really enjoyed this place. galata tower is 3 min away walking and a lot of cafe and restaurants in that area.
istiklal street is 15 min walk or should I say climb because the way there is stiff. be prepared🙂 but it is worth it.
for those who like us enjoy visiting through public transportation there are 2 tram stations and bus stations 5 minutes away from the appartment (tophane and karakoy) taking you everywhere from the gand bazaar to malls....
i would totally recommend this place and come back when i can.
