Walking distance to pretty much everything! it is a 5 minute walk to get to the river, 20 minute walk to the Haggia Sofia and the Blue Mosque, the Galata Tower is right outside the apartment. Located on the quieter side of Istanbul, we are early to bed (9/10p) and early risers (6/7a). We had no trouble sleeping, the street was relatively quiet. It does get very busy in the afternoons but overall prime location for a weekend in Istanbul.
The apartment has a small kitchen and fridge and some pots and pans if you want to cook. There is a small balcony overlooking the street below, perfect for a glass of wine. we absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to come back.
