This was a great apartment near Galata Tower. The apartment was clean and well furnished, just like the pictures on airbnb suggest. Fatih, the host, was exceptionally helpful. He gave multiple options on how to get to the apartment and detailed directions. He was always available for questions about the apartment. The apartment was also very close to the rail line making all important tourist attraction easily available. We were two females traveling and the area felt extremely safe. The apartment is also down the street from Istiklal street, a very busy metropolitan shopping street which is full of activity late into the night. Although we were so close to the action, noise was not an issue in the apartment. Overall, a great place to stay in Istanbul. I would not hesitate to stay again during my next visit!
