The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning, as good as any of the rooftop bars in Istanbul. We spent many early evenings making cocktails and drinking Efes and enjoying the view. Four of us stayed here and we had plenty of space.It's also delightfully located with little supermarkets and quirky antique stores as well as restaurants, and a short walk to tram stops and the Galata bridge. Inside the apartment is very clean and pleasant. We got very strong legs walking up six flights of stairs and up the steel hill from the tram, but the view is worth it.
