    Comments: The place is cozy and has a artsy feel to it and looks exactly like on the photos. Area couldn't be any better, close to Shishane metro station and you can actually see the Galata Tower from the window ;) Overall I was extremely satisfied with the place and recommend highly !

  • Reviewer: Suha

    Comments: My recent stay in Istanbul, Turkey was a joy thanks to Alpay and his apartment I rented through Airbnb for a 7 day visit. Alpay has a beautiful place which is comfortable and exquisitely decorated. Upon my arrival Alpay took a great deal of time showing me how to enjoy his apartment and even walked me around the neighborhood pointing out markets and restaurants so that I would feel comfortable with my surroundings. The apartment is well located in the Galata Tower District and is an easy walk to dinning and many of the famous architectural sights. I will definitely recommend Alpay’s apartment to any friends wanting to visit Istanbul Regards, Randal

  • Reviewer: Marc

    Comments: Alpay welcomed me although I was arriving very late and showed me his beautiful place.. His appartment is just fantastic. Lovely furnished and in perfect condition, super clean and just the best place to stay. Close to Galata and Metro, just 15min walk to Ferry. I like it a lot and recommend it to everybody.

    Comments: Alpay indeed the wonderful host. Very friendly and easily to communicate with. He provide lots of valuable information for us during our arrival. What you see is what you get from the pictures he provided. His apartment is so cozy and comfortable. Quiet and calm during night time. You may have a very good rest all the time. His apartment is very near to Taksim Tunel and Sishane metro. Few minutes walk to Galata tower, Galata bridge, Karakoy Hipster areas and to any other tourism spots. I would highly recommend to anybody if you plan a visit to Istanbul. You will love his place so much. Me and my wife love his place Truly Deeply and Madly. Once again, Thank you so much Alpay. Nice to meet you :D Best Regards, Jonathan Ong & Wife

    Comments: We’ve had an absolutely amazing experience. The apartment was just as shown on photos, impeccably styled, clean and with all we needed: comfy bed, hot water, soft towels, coffee, wine and sunlight. Alpay is a great host who is always online and willing to answer any questions. Our first trip to Istanbul was a great journey thanks to him as well. Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Xavier

    Comments: Alpay was very helpful and welcoming from the beginning, helping us to carry our luggages up the 3 floors. Alpay loaned us his 4G hotspot as we had no wifi due to a problem with the provider in the area, which was really convenient. The appartment is very well decorated with some vintage stuff and literally spotless. The street is full of life during the day, many shops selling electrical products but no tourist stuff. Very quiet at night which is not the case everywhere. Within 3 min walk you can reach Galata tower or SALT Galata (contemporary art center, library and café) down the street. Galata bridge + Karakoy ferry pier to asian side are around 5 min by walk. One of the best experiences I've had untill now.

    Comments: Truly an outstanding Apartment and Host! The apartment is above any 5 star hotel. The location could not be more perfect you can sit on the couch and see Galata tower out your window! The pictures do not do this place justice it is decorated amazingly... it should be in Dwell magazine! Everything is here, you could not want for anything. Alpay speaks English perfectly and his hospitality is unparalleled!
