It really is that close to Galata Tower! This small studio has everything you need for a comfortable, pleasant stay, and the location really is excellent, very close to everything in the Galata Tower district and the commercial district that leads up to Taksim Square. The space is quite stylish in a historic building. As the listing mentions, there are some stairs to climb, but the view from the window makes it all worthwhile. Eyüp is an excellent host with great communication and is very helpful. The place was spotlessly clean and provided us with a delightful stay for our last few days in Turkey.
