The location of the apartment is prime. It is in the middle of the Galata neighborhood right below the Galata Tower in a quiet street. The area is alive day and night and full of unique places of art, cafes, restaurants and so much more. And all Istanbul attractions are in a walking or short taxi ride distances.
Ege is a gracious host he was flexible with arrival and departure times and was very very helpful helping us with our luggage up and down the stairs.
The apartment is spacious, we were 3 each one had a room and we all can get together in the nice living room. It was very cold outside but the heating in the apartment kept it nice and cozy. Overall our Istanbul experience was above our expectations and very affordable. We were very lucky to stay at Ege's apartment right there in the center of it all.
