Great location within walking distance to Galata tower as well as the more historic parts of the city. It is likewise easily accessible to the metro and cable cars. Very safe. Many guests mentioned the climb to the apartment. This was not a problem for my husband and I. Very doable. Check-in was a bit tricky but this was due more to our lack of cell access. Chiko was extremely responsive and accommodating. Our only real complaint is the noise, it’s right above several cafes and being a light sleeper was not great for this location. However, this is not within the hosts control just a note for those looking to sleep within a quite apartment.
