we had a very nice stay! great views of galata tower, comfortable beds, spacious unit. electric lock easy to come and go. apartment is stocked with water which is very convenient. only downside is the street it is on is not very clean, but in just a few minute walk there are lots of cafes and restaurants! the stairs can be strenuous but we got used to it. accommodating and responsive host, just make sure you arrange for luggage help beforehand!
