As others have noted, this apartment is in the absolute best location for a visitor to Istanbul. Right in the center of Galata, a few steps from Istiklal Street and close to all transportation: trams, subways, ferries, to get you anywhere you want to go. The apartment is amazing, high on a hill and on the sixth floor, so you have incredible views of the Golden Horn, the Historic Center, and the Bosphorus. I truly think there is no better view in Istanbul. Even though the apartment is in the thick of things, it's incredibly quiet and I had no trouble sleeping at night. It was nice to wake up in the morning the the muezzin's call to prayer. The apartment is spacious, very comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you would need to cook a meal for dozens. But I didn't use the kitchen much because there are so many great restaurants right downstairs and all over the area. As others have mentioned, this apartment is on the 6th floor of an Ottoman era building, so the apartments have high ceilings and the distance between floors is considerable. You really need to be in good shape to manage these steps every day, especially after walking around this city of many hills all day. But as long as folks are aware of that, they should have an unforgettable experience here.
