I had a great stay at Fati's place. The location is spot on. There are a lot of independent stores, galleries, workshops, art-space, coffee-houses and restaurants to meet all budgets. Of course, there are also a lot of tourists in this area because of Galata Tower which is 3 minutes walk away but the studio itself is nestled down a street away from the majority of them. I found the space small but well equipped. I never felt like I was missing something. The wifi was great. The "kitchen" is small but saying this I would have eaten out most nights anyway. There is a handy corner store just outside the property entrance that has all the basics like snacks and bottled water. You can walk to the old town and the see majority of the main tourist spots within 30 ish minutes or you can take the metro which is literally 5 minutes walk away. Taxim square is about 25 minutes walk away. Overall all I had a great time and I must thank the host Fati for being extremely accommodating and thoughtful during my stay. He even took me out to a local restaurant and showed me one the most authentic Turkish canteens you will find.
