Emrah is a great host, I absolutely recommend his place during your stay in Istanbul! The apartment has a great location, which is close to Galata tower, Istiklal street, a lot of shops and cafes. A metro station is just a 3-mins by walking, as well as a trum station, which allow you getting to the old city very fast. The apartment was clean and cozy, the host even provided juices and fruits, and some other stuff for breakfast. Emrah also provided recommendations for places to eat and visit. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Istanbul!
