The roof terrace has a fantastic view - though it wasn't clear to us that it was to be shared, this wasn't really an issue. I would suggest to the owners that they tidy it early in the morning - we would go up with a coffee, and it would always be rather messy. The rooms were fine - the bedroom comfortable, the living room too - and although the washing machine in the apartment had a broken door handle, they let us use one in another apartment in the building. The staff on the reception were helpful enough. Above all, the position near the Galata Tower is the selling point . I love that part of Istanbul!
