The apartment is located in a very touristy and lively neighborhood of Istanbul. Personally, I loved the artistic vibe of the street and all cozy cafes and shops. Most attractions are in walking distance from the place, like Galata tower, Taksim Square, Istiklal street, the sea view, etc.
The host and his team were very responsive and active during our stay. The unit was clean and spacious. There were a few missing items in the kitchen and bathroom that the host kindly provided them when we asked.
The only issue we had was that the power and water went out on the last day of our stay for a few hours. We had a senior member in our group which made it hard for them to not take the elevator during a power outage. It wasn't the host's problem, and the whole neighborhood had no power. Also, something to consider is that the location is not very car friendly and a lot of taxi drivers canceled on us or charged us a lot.
