We really have to recommend the stay in Julia's place. They are very responsive to our requests. We had problems with our first place but they reacted quickly and gave us a replacement. The replacement flat was just around the Galata Tower. It was tidy and well-decorated. The bed was comfy and the shower was amazing. (we almost wanna take two showers a day just because it's so comfortable.) The rooftop has this amazing view of the city/the sea/the bridges. It's just perfect!! We love the area so much and really wanna go back next time when we visit.
