This apartment is very well situated right next to Galata Tower, a major landmark in Istanbul. This made it easy to locate no matter where we were in the city. However, this also meant that it was incredibly busy at all times, and therefore quite noisy. The neighbors are also pretty loud, so don't book this place if you need quiet.
It's a bit of a hike to public transport, and is right on top of quite a steep hill. This makes getting around a bit of a chore, but luckily there are tons of restaurants and cafes you can walk to in just a couple of minutes.
The apartment itself is clean and the kitchen stocked with the essentials. Beds were comfortable and every room has air conditioning.
Last thing to mention is that this place is not a true penthouse as it's only one floor up from ground level.
