This was a very beautiful basement apartment in a central area of Istanbul! Less than 5 minutes walking to the metro, 10 minutes walking to Galata Tower and less than 15 to Galataport. Check in was very smooth and we were welcomed with snacks and beverages for our convenience. Communication was very easy despite us not knowing any Turkish. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to visit! Make sure to pack comfortable shoes because there are many hills in the area :)
