The apartment is located in a quiet street close to Taksim square, a few steps from bakeries, grocery stores, and multiple dining options. Easy walking distance from the Galata bridge - but mind the steep hill.
Check in and check out procedures were extremely simple. The apartment was spotlessly clean and very quiet, and thoughtful amenities were provided. Wireless internet was fast and reliable.
The host went above and beyond to accommodate special requests and was available throughout the booking process, preparation for the trip, and the stay.
I wholeheartedly recommend Gurcan's AirBnB and look forward to staying again!
