Nadira's apartment is beautiful and tastefully decorated. It was very clean and surprisingly quiet considering the bustling square below. The views are great and the neighborhood is perfect for a taste of istanbul life, and it is a ten minute walk to the ferry or Galata bridge. Communication was easy too, and there are taxis downstairs in the square which makes it easy to come and go. I would highly recommend staying here, (as long as you are in good shape- 5 flights of stairs).
