“This place is spectacular! Very well equipped, fantastic location and a good value. Plus, Missy is a responsive hostess. I would stay here again and again.”  Shannon – April 2023

“One of the best Airbnb's I've ever stayed in. Firstly, the location is superb and while it's super busy right outside the windows are such that they totally block out all the noise so it was like an oasis of calm indoors. The apartment itself has been renovated to an extremely high standard with everything feeling new and fresh. It was super clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like small bottles of shampoo and shower gel left for us in the bathroom and a bottle of water with a selection of snacks and tea in the kitchen. Fantastic and look forward to my next stay!” Michael – November 2022
 
“We stayed at the property for 8 nights and immediately settled in. Very stylish apartment, good renovation, everything you need available. In addition, the location is also just top. Great view, right next to the Galata Tower and there car-free, yet very quiet. Close to everything with lots of good coffee, restaurants, shops, attractions, etc. … Thanks for the opportunity to use this apartment. This was more incomparable and no hotel room can compete.” Roman -November 2022
 
"We stayed at this property for 5 nights. The apartment is very tastefully decorated and seems to be completely new. It is in a top location with a direct view of the Galata Tower - yet quietly located in a side alley. Leaving the apartment, you are in the middle of the old town with many restaurants, bars, etc. Missy, our host, was prompt and helpful with our concerns. We will definitely come back and then certainly return to this accommodation.”  Monika – October 2022
