We had a lovely five-night stay at Roda and Chiko's place. The place is in the best location, right by Galata Tower but it isn't noisy at all. At nighttime the area was silent and we were able to sleep so well. The place has everything you could need for a short stay in the city - we didn't use the kitchenette so can't really comment on that, but it seemed well enough equipped. The apartment was very cozy and warm - the heating was on as we visited in January and it was lovely to be inside and not cold. I noticed it has AC too for the summer.
We did have a couple of issues with the bathroom - because the building is very old, you can't put any toilet paper in the toilet which may be an issue for some people! The bathroom sink was very clogged when we arrived and the water wouldn't flow down it. The toilet uses the Saniflo system (with a macerator) and is VERY noisy - sometimes it makes the noise in the middle of the night randomly. It also got a little clogged even with no toilet paper being used, so this is something worthwhile noting.
The WiFi was very slow and the signal a little weak in places so if you rely on the internet for work or want to stream, I wouldn't suggest this place - but otherwise it's a really great little gem in the heart of Galata.
Thanks Roda and Chiko, it was a fantastic stay.
