Melis made our stay extremely welcoming. She showed us around the apartment, which was beautiful and explained how things worked. She left us a bottle of wine and some snacks as well. The neighborhood was also amazing. The apartment is located right by the Galata Tower which seems to get very busy. There are quite a few shops, coffee shops as well and great restaurants. The apartment is also conveniently located by the tram. BTW she also provided us with a tram card. It was a great experience to be housed by such a kind person. I recommend this space to anyone wanting to have a comfortable time in Istanbul.
