I can honestly say this is an ideal apartment for staying in Istanbul. Clean, spacious, well equipped and in the best location. We spent 5 nights here and preferred it to any of the hotels we have stayed in. The location right next to Galata Tower is wonderful for getting to many key attractions, and it is surrounded by great places to eat and drink. Taxi drivers know how to get to the tower, and as an added bonus, from the balcony of the apartment you can even see the queue out the front of the tower to know when it's a good time to start lining up to get to the top. We were greeted by Deniz who showed us around the apartment, gave us the keys, and also an Istanbul card for public transport which made life so easy. All in all it was all very easy, hassle free and a great place to stay. Highly recommended. The washing machine is also a blessing after lots of travelling.
