We had great time in Istanbul, also because the perfect location of this apt. Galata tower area is where you want to be in the evening or also for breakfast and an easy tram ride to other destinations. The apt was very nice, with an incredible view. Everything was like we expected and Ilif and her husband were very efficient with helping us also with transportation to and from the airport. The only thing to be aware of is that the apt is on a hill and several flights up so requires climing. But again, the view is worth it !
