The place can't be more central than this, the only thing better than the location was the view. The pictures don't do it justice but waking up to the galata tower was the highlight of my trip. It is a bit dated in terms of 5 floors of stairs, squeaky floors and general furnishing, but overall convince of supermarkets, food and everything else being right under your house trump's it all. Very accommodating host and overall great experience of istanbul during lockdown
