We had a fantastic 3 night stay at Handan's apartment. The location is great and is a short walk from all the action in Galata and Karakoy. The apartment itself is new and large, with great amenities and new appliances. Bathrooms and kitchens are new and nice, and air-conditioning was available in each bedroom and the living room. It is on the 5th floor, so street noise is not really a problem (although the seagulls can be noisy, but not much you can do about that). The elevator wasn't working when we arrived so had to carry our luggage all the way up, but it was fine for the rest of our stay and worked well. Also had a really nice view of the Bosphorus river and mosques on the other side. Overall, had a great stay and would stay again.
