A good apartment in a very nice area full of small local designer shops, coffee shops. 5 minute walk from Galata Tower and 3 minutes walk to the tram station Tophane (T1) that will get you to the Topkapi or Hagia Sophia in just 15 minutes.
Istiklal street is 5 minutes away and the new Galataport with fancy restaurants is 10 minutes away.
The apartment is nice and clean and suitable for 2 adults and 1 or 2 kids. The apartment is in semi-basement and it has only one window offering natural light.
The host was very nice and helpful even though we only communicated via whatsapp.
There is a paid parking near the apartment for about 3 euros / day.
