Location in Galata is convenient and the price is very reasonable. However, the apartment is not nearly as nice as the photos, and we were unhappy with the lack of air conditioning despite it being listed as an amenity. Also, beware that the apartment is next to a minaret, where calls to prayer occur 5 times a day with the 4/5am prayer acting as your personal alarm clock. Biggest plus is the mini balcony which has a nice breeze in the evening.
