This apartment was great accomodation for our 5 person group of students - both in terms of space and location. The apartment is lovely, comfortable, and spacious. The location is in a great neighbourhood, less than a 5 minute walk to Galata Tower, İstiklal Caddesi, and close to a variety of great restaurants and cafes. It is also a reasonable (for us) 45 minute walk to the Sultanahmet area containing major mosques and tourist attractions, and we greatly enjoyed the walk itself across the Galata Bridge and through markets and streets making up the lively atmosphere of Istanbul. Though we never took it, it is also my understanding that transit options were also nearby. The hosts were also very kind, responsive, and helpful.
