I personally loved the place because of its location, spacious apartment with amazing terrace view, and of course the hosts hospitality.
In terms of location, it is right smack in the middle of Galata area which has plenty of cafes and shops. It is also walking distance to the shopping street and ferry pier.
The apartment is on the first level, so it is not an issue if you have heavy luggage. It is tastefully decorated and i love the wooden interior. We didn’t use the kitchen as there’s many options outside. Do expect noise from outside throughout the day (to me I thought it is just part of the lively area which i love)
Lastly, Akif is just an amazing host. He helped to arrange airport transfer and had personally welcomed me when I checked-in as well as explained how the apartment is like.
