If you're looking for a quiet, tucked in location - you're in a wrong listing. The apartment is right next to the Galata tower, right outside of the building is a busy street full of vendors, restaurants and tourists. It's definitely quite noisy at night, but other than that, the apartment is what you see in the pictures. Old building, tall ceilings, and Turkish charm. Great location for visiting the city, not too far from most sightseeing. Since Galata tower is on a hill, there is a lot of walking up and down, so make sure you bring comfortable shoes and taxi drivers often have trouble finding the way to get closer for pickup or drop-off.
The management was great at responding, accommodated earlier check-in and organized a transfer for us.
