Turkhun's apartment is nice, clean, and a block away from the Galata Tower. Turkhun was very attentive and the check-in process was very seamless. He also sent us his personal list of things to do in Turkey which was very thoughtful.
Our issue with the unit was that there is only one small AC unit in the bedroom, which blows some cool air, but in the summer months in Turkey, it did not keep us cool so it was hard for us to stay here. Also, the living room has no AC, so it can get pretty warm. This is an older apartment (albeit beautifully remodeled). Regarding the internet, I was informed by our host that the internet in this area, in general, is weaker, so if you are working and need to take video calls or download any documents, our experience was that it takes some time. Sad things didn't work out between the host and us, but our initial experience with their hospitality was positive.
