Okan’s place has the perfect location for first time and repeat visitors to Istanbul. Located within a few meters of the Galata Tower, which is visible from almost everywhere in the city, you won't have a shortage of cafes, restaurants or places to hang out while staying here. Okan himself is very nice and responsive. The room was a bit smaller than in the pictures but it was ok for our purposes since we were out all day. Neighbors might get noisy in the morning if you are a light sleeper but again, this is Istanbul and you need to get up early anyway!
