We loved staying at Iclal's cozy Galata studio! She was incredibly responsive as a host and made sure we had everything we needed, including a 2:30am taxi to the airport! A wonderful, humble home-base for exploring the Galata area and beyond; fitting all the needs of two young travelers. You can see how much care is given to the little spot - flowers on the door; an adorable swing. Comfy bedding and adjustable heating system. See other reviews regarding the shower/bathroom. Overall, so glad we came!
