For a couple looking to travel cheap this was a decent space. A couple blocks away from the Galata Tower but tucked away from the busy streets with all the cafes and shops. The residence is across from a cute little church that was very peaceful. It was very cramped though, perhaps 200 SF. Stairs are a little sketchy. It smelled like mold and we found it growing on the entrance of the bathroom. The courtyard outside the entrance to the lobby is quiet and filled with kitties. I liked petting them but the poop smell was also very strong.
