This apartment is located in a great neighborhood. Right around the corner from Galata Tower. We had a seamless experience with the host, everything we asked for was addressed. The apartment itself was clean, and easy to use. The views were great. A+.
The only reason we give this apartment a 4/5 is because the street that this apartment is located on is in the heart of the commercial electronics district. That means starting at 7a every morning until 7p (or later) every night there is a lot of noise on this street. For travelers who don’t mind cars honking, people yelling, etc this won’t be a problem for you. However, if you’re looking for a more personal place to stay in Istanbul (I’m definitely aware of the irony of this, especially in a city as busy as Istanbul) I would consider a different apartment.
