What an amazing apartment! You shouldn’t think twice before booking this because you will get the best view of Galata Tower for a fair price. You will literally see the tower from the sofa in the living room.
The neighborhood is one of the best of Istanbul as it has a lively cultural scene and of the best restaurants and cafés in the city. As someone working remotely I found many cafes and places to work during the day just a few steps away. Also, it is just 15minutes away from Hagia Sophia and all important museums in Faith, and just 5minutes away from Istikal Street. I would recommend it for people coming to work remotely and also to people coming to visit the city.
Finally but not least important, the area is super safe. I came as a solo female traveler and security was one of my concerns before coming to Turkey. But I felt super safe here at all times, Galata is the type of area where you don’t need to worry about safety even late at night.
Necla and Pelin are also super nice hosts always willing to help and assist you.
