We enjoyed an A+ stay here. The apartment is as described. It's well appointed, clean and very comfortable. It's in a quiet street just minutes from Galata tower, and close to loads of funky design cafes. Oh and there's an awesome tea cafe not more than 10m from the front door. Our host was away (Turkish national holiday) but his friend met us on arrival and showed us around, offered to book restaurants, visits etc. We will stay here the next time we visit Istanbul
