Excellent stay between 11 June and 15 June, 2015. The Noa Luxury apartment was exactly as described, the staff (security) was perfect and professional, the apartment amenities were all fully functional and the setup was well thought out. We truly appreciated everything in the apartment. The AC was perfectly adequate, the gym was excellent and friendly, the area is very nice - close by cafes for breakfast and/or some minor groceries. Wifi too is excellent as is the little book they leave for one's use and this book contains all details one needs. Apartment is very close to Galata tower and one can use that as a mark for taxis or just as a guide for oneself. We have been to Istanbul twice before. Thus this visit was short but we wanted to try the Galata / Beyoglu area. In prior visits we stayed in the more touristy Sultanahmet area (Sultanahmet is too quiet at night as well as a bit boring) at a top hotel as well as in the Bosphorus area in the same hotel chains sister hotel (hard to exit Bosphorus hotels as taxis get stuck in traffic and little public transport). This area is nice in that it is active but not that noisy like some areas a few blocks away and there is easy access to public transport - tram or metro. We found that the apartment stay served our purpose and we were pleasantly surprised that we had a flawless experience - I always expect something to not be as described and don't let problems to unduly bother me but this was truly flawless. Thanks to the Noa team. They also answered all my questions before arrival.
