We loved our stay in this tastefully furnished loft-style apartment with beautiful light and views. It’s brilliantly located but as many others have stated, the apartment is a four floor walk up and the street is at the base of the hill so it’s a climb to Galata, Sishane, Taksim area (this wasn’t an issue for us). We walked almost everywhere and that was totally doable. It’s also easy to reach the tram and metro. The neighborhood is primarily commercial so very busy during the day and mostly quiet at night, though street activity starts quite early in the morning (we used earplugs so it didn’t bother us). The building itself has a ton of character, and the roof terrace, just the floor above us is great on a sunny day or pleasant evening. Highly recommend this place!
