Our stay at Savaş's was very good. It's a cozy flat not so far from Istiklal and Galata tower but located in a very quiet street. The neighborhood is really great, there are a lot of cafes, restaurants and small groceries. The public transport stop is 5 min away. The photos of the apartment are accurate, the place is clean and well equipped. The place is perfect for 2 people but has an extra sofa in the living room. The living room can be used as a work area during the day and as a gathering place at night. Note: wifi is not that sufficient if 2 people working at the same time.
The kitchen is stocked with necessary stuff and different goods, has a dishwasher, which is really helpful when it's long-term stay!
The flat has a central heating system so it's a great place to stay in cold seasons, it was cold and snowy outside and we couldn't care less :). In our first day, there was a problem with a water boiler and heating, but Savaş reacted immediately and fixed this issue.
Savaş is a super friendly and helpful host! He is easy to reach and ready to help if anything is needed. Also, there is a caretaker who lives in this house and is available 24/7 which is really helpful. (note for russian tenants: the caretaker is speaking russian very well)
There is a self-service hammam and sauna in the basement of the building. Ask the caretaker to arrange it. The price is not included in the apartment fee, but it's much cheaper than a public hammam.
I and my friend have a great 2-week stay and would definitely stay there next time!
