Great place. It is all about the Balcony. Beautiful apartment with a truly great view of Istanbul. A bit of stairs but it's not too bad. not recommended for old people with problems with stairs. Apartment was clean, host was very helpful and despite the busy area that the apartment is close to, it was considerably calm. Very close to the Istiklal St. and lots of restaurant and close to the shopping area and to Galata Tower. Amazing stay. thanks to the host for making it a great one.
