The apartment is great. There is everything you may need for living a few days. Quiet place only 2 minutes far from the Galata Tower. It will take you approx 25 minutes to get to the old city across the bridge. But keep in mind the terrain, there are steep hills and you have to walk up and down. It isn't a problem at all anyway. There are lots of bars, cafes and shops nearby. I would definitely recommend to stay there.
