The apartment is absolutely fantastic in every way. It is spacious, clean, and located in the heart of everything. It is right across the street from the tunnel subway that takes you up the hill above Galata Tower, by the rail station that takes you across the galata bridge to the old city, and in the heart of many restaurants. Meso was the perfect host with suggestions and was responsive to needs during our stay. Did I mention you’re right above one of the coolest coffee shops in Istanbul? The whole staff quickly became family. I recommend this place without reservation.
