This airbnb was great! It perched at the top of the hill and has a shared terrace with a 270 degree entire view of the entire city. It is right around the corner from Galata tower. The proximity to the Karakoy metro station made it easy to get around, especially to the Sultanahmet area (about ten mins). Please note that apartment is at the top of many flights of stairs (no elevator) which can be very tiring after walking the many hills of Istanbul. Noise can be an issue with the shared terrace (heard people outside around 1-2am) and it can be a bit awkward to know their someone can peek into your apartment if the curtains aren’t drawn.
It had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay - a coffee machine with fresh beans, filtered water, a washer/dryer combo, and a spacious living room&bedroom. The host was responsive and the cleaner personally greeted us to ensure a safe easy checkin.
Would recommend for proximity to the highlights of istanbul on both sides of the river.
