We booked this apartment for our family of 6 and it was very accommodating and homey! The apartment is spacious, clean, and has all the basics. It is located right next to Galata tower, a very central area with many shops, cafes, and restaurants. As a result, the area is extremely busy and filled with people but it is walking distance from anywhere you want to go and next to metro/bus stations. There's also a pharmacy and a grocery store very close by.
The view from both balconies was great, one side has a view of Galata, which is fascinating, and the other side has a wonderful view of the sea. Amazing for enjoying your morning coffee or late night tea😁
The apartment was located on the fifth floor and has no elevator, it wasn't something that we minded since it was a great workout but carrying the luggage up and down can be a struggle.
If you are staying for an extended period of time, consider that you'll have to buy extra supplies such as toilet paper, tissues, kitchen towels, etc.
The apartment has hot water, wifi, and AC which was great in this weather. Although opening the windows does let in a very nice breeze but since the area is busy it tends to get noisy.
The hosts, Nadira and Gokhan, are super nice and helpful. We didn't require much help during our stay as everything was available and our stay went fine but when we did they responded fast and were very helpful. We requested early check in and they were nice enough to agree, Gokhan met us as soon as we arrived, helped us with our luggage, and explained everything about the apartment.
Overall, our experience was wonderful and we'll definitely visit again!
