Fatih always responded very quickly when we had questions and was overall, a very helpful host. He gave us a lot of information about Istanbul, as well as a great list of restaurant recommendations. He was also incredibly understanding when we were very late for our check-in because airport customs took so long. The apartment itself was very cozy and nice. The bed was comfortable and the apartment had everything we needed. The location is also incredibly convenient. It's close to Istiklal St., the Sishane subway station and Galata tower, but it's still pretty quiet and peaceful. We originally booked a different apartment with Fatih but he asked if it was ok for us to switch apartments within the same building twice. At first we thought this was a bit strange but in the end, it was fine and I think we even got upgraded to a more expensive apartment. Overall, I would recommend staying here.
