We spent 6 nights in Maha & Chiko apartment. It's indeed a cosy place, very up to the expectations we have had from the photos. The location is really good, by the corner of a pedestrian street, a few dozens of meters from the Galata tower, 5 min walking distance from Istiklal. All our questions/minor issues were answered/addressed very quickly, we were also allowed to come earlier than the standard check-in hour and leave later than the check-out. One misconception we had from the photos was that the terasse is the part of the apartment - in fact, that's on the roof of the 5-storey building and accessible via stairway (there's no elevator in the building), and of course shared with all the other apartements. But it's almost always empty, so we could enjoy drinks and sunset views there on a few occasions.
