Well appointed apartment in the Galata area. Modern and well decorated, clean.
Short walk to transit and groceries. Easy to get around from here.
Berk was an excellent host.
Small but functional kitchen. Living room area and small garden as in photos.
Bedrooms: no issues. Bathrooms are tight but functional.
Umbrellas in the apartment if you need.
Washing machine worked well, no dryer.
Internet connection was slow and devices frequently dropped off the network, (no trouble configuring the access).
Satellite TV has hundreds of channels, but only 3 or 4 in English, essentially news channels, (BBC World News). Lots of Middle East channels, Turkish, Persian...
The area is very convenient, you can walk to many sights, or take short taxi ride or public transit.
Overall a positive experience, with an excellent host.
