Our family of 3 including 3 teenage boys stayed for one week. The unit itself is very impressive ! The high ceilings and room decor was amazing. However, the hallway to our unit at times were filled with random people smoking and broken tiles made an impression it was unkept. The unit itself was very clean although the bathroom had a smell after a day. The living room was small but enough space for us. We tended to stay in our own rooms. The host was very responsive and gave us more toilet paper and laundry detergent when we asked. I would recommend this place for couple of days in Istanbul but I’m not sure it would be the best for a entire week for a family. The location is in the heart of Galata tower up on a steep hill. If you have family members that are older they may have issues walking up. I did enjoy the fact that we could just walk out and get a bite to eat. I also loved the fact that I could just cross Galata bridge and get to Old City even by walking. Get a tram card and exploring Istanbul was very convenient.
