Location is great. You can reach everything you need by foot: Galata Tower, Istiklal Street, supermarkets, coworkings, ferry terminal, subway and tram stations.
The apartment is cozy, but lacks dining table, that was the main problem for us.
Another problem is the ladder leading to apartment - it's dirty and steep, only for young and healthy :)
The host, Afranur, was very helpful and welcoming. We had a problem with a boiler and it was fixed the same day we asked her for help.
