Five stars to location and communication. The apt is located few steps away from Galata Tower. The space and building is a bit tight but I guess all European rentals are similar. The terrace is amazing and perfect for an evening sunset chill.
We had a great time. Although there were a few small things we needed as soon as we checked in but Omer and his doorman took care of it right away.
Galata is a hilly area so be prepared for a hike to go around. It is so close to Istiklal street where we spent most of our time for food and shopping. Easy accessibility to Sultanahmet and Bosphorus by uber.
Taxi drivers don't speak English and only a few uber drivers do. Also, I think there are road closures around Galata Tower after evening so taxis an uber will not go upto apartment. Only during mornings and afternoon, we did not have any problem calling for uber right at the apartment. It's a bit tricky to find the place so always use Federal Cafe as your pickup/drop-off point.
I would definitely stay in Galata area again.
