Location location location. Beautiful area Galata . Location for me was easy to find but I can get confusing for people with no sense of direction. Building has an elevator so no worries which is a plus .older building restored Back to its former glory . Apartment is fully furnished and had all appliances needed for a long period stay : fridge, cooking area , dish washer and laundry machine . Spacious living room and bedroom . Lots of windows so you get a lot of light. Comfortable bed. Bathroom also spacious. Apartment was spotless very clean . There is a tv but I never used it. AC is in both room so excellent if you’re there in the middle of the summer. Wifi was a problem very weak so if you need to do work there might be a good idea to buy a package locally . I had my SIM card .U are surrounded by restaurants, small stores , fruit juice stands it’s a high pedestrian area so it’s always crowded and noisy but that’s the area it’s no quiet at night even with the windows closed but I knew that is when I got the place . There is a huge multi share patio at the top of building with the most amazing views seating area as well . Perfect place if your friends we coming over for a drink or just hangout huge plus .Great communication with host very courteous . Would stay there again .
