adorable, tons of great amenities! super close to all the Galata tower action. bear in mind there are 5 flights of stairs to climb so be in good shape or consider packing light/use a hiking backpack if you don't want to carry your luggage! I bought groceries at the sok market down the street. I also recommend having a backpack to carry your items up to the apartment. mattresses are a bit too firm for me, but the actual couch is very comfortable. it's every bit as cute as the pictures portray it to be. Laundry in the apartment but everything gets hung to dry in Europe so be prepared to dry for like 24 hours. the balcony is a shared balcony on top of the building. one flight of stairs above your apartment. the sights are great to take in there.
