Chiko was very available and helpful when we were getting our taxi from the airport to his place. We came in right at rush hour so we were late getting in but he picked us up by the coffee shop at Galata Tower which is just a few meters from the apt.
The place is quite nice, no frills but more than adequate to our needs. The area is great and we very much enjoyed having Roda & Chiko's place as our home home base.
