Great communication with host! Location for this place was great. It is right in heart of Galata which has become very popular in the last few years. Tons of restaurants and shops. We walked down to galataport which is a new up scale mall right on the water. We would walk down and then when we came home we would take the Tunel back and walk down to the place.
It was quiet in the room at night. I loved the morning time when the streets were starting to wake up. Right across the street is a nice like breakfast place and down the street is an even better breakfast place. The place right outside has filtered coffee! It was a small place but plenty big enough for a family of 3. And it was clean.
Con- finding a taxi to come to your door is hard. The roads are really narrow and crowded. Best suggestion if you have luggage is to arrive and leave in the morning before tourists are out.
