Hello,
Ella and Volkan were very nice and responsive hosts even though we did not meet them and they gave us all information and details we required.
Regarding the appartment, it looks a little older in reality than what we expected and based on the pictures, however it was clean and had all basic amenities. Located on 4th floor with a tiny lift ( which we do not disregard and was very useful). located a little uphill when you come back from metro or bus station, not far from galata tower and a minute away from busy Istiklal street, with all shops and restaurants. There are a lot of bars and pubs down the appartment, playing loud music until dawn, if you are a party animal this place is for you, but not for people looking to sleep early in a quiet and peacful environment. We used the room which was at the back and it was fine for us.
We recommend this place to future guests :)
Thank you Ella and Volkan
