This is a comfortable apartment in a brilliant location. We loved the fact we were 5 minutes walk from Galata Bridge so could wander down to many of Istanbul’s historic sites - or easily catch the tram. The apartment is on the third floor (57 steps) overlooking a narrow shopping street. So there’s a general hubub of people talking and music from the shops during the day and early evening but very little traffic - only the occasional car. But we found it completely quiet during the night and early morning so we have no complaints- you are in the heart of the city after all! Furkan met us at the apartment and quickly responded to any query during our stay. Thoroughly recommended if you want a central location - great views from the sitting room and terrace too!
