We had an amazing stay! First of all the view is incredible. From the balcony, you can see Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Galata Tower. Truly this is the best view of all the sights. The apartment is within walking distance of Galata Tower and Galata Port and the Bosphorus (with a good amount of stairs).
The host was extremely helpful with the check-in process, and the apartment was very easy to find. There was even a parking spot which is rare for apartments in this city.
The only problem we encountered was that there was no hot water, but we messaged the host and she was very helpful with finding the hot water heater. Problem solved.
Overall we had a fantastic experience. The view is definitely worth it and I would recommend this apartment to anyone looking to sight see on the European side of Istanbul.
