Beautiful apartment with a stunning view of the water and the historic Galata, Beyoglu, and Karakoy neighborhoods. Conveniently located near Istiklal street, but surprisingly quiet and peaceful on the fifth floor. Access to lots of restaurants and cafes, only about a five minute walk from the Galata tower, and easy access to public transportation. We even walked across the bridge to the Egyptian bazaar and it didn't take us more than about half an hour to walk with two young kids in tow.
The building has a person available at the front desk 24/7, and every member of the staff we spoke to was super helpful and accommodating.
Note that there is no laundry inside the building, but there is free access to a laundry room next door.
Everything about the building and location was top notch. My one criticism is that neither of the two bathrooms has a window or air vent, and sometimes one can smell sewage in the bathrooms, even though they were spotless.
Would definitely stay here again!
