The apartment is as described in the listing, spacious and well-lit. It’s located just two minutes away on foot from Galata tower, so it’s an awesome location. There were all kinds of appliances and kitchen furnishings, cookware, pots and pans, plates, glasses, electric kettle, and a big tank of clean water to drink left there filled for us (thank you!). The apartment appears to have been renovated recently, everything was neat and clean.
Note that Internet connectivity, while available, is slow; it’s OK if you need to do E-Mail or want to watch a movie. It also only works in the kitchen area and not the bedroom.
It is however noisy, both outside during the day and night, and we had exceedingly noisy guests upstairs. The host offered to talk to them but unfortunately nothing changed; he also offered to move us to a different place, but that never materialized.
All in all, if you don’t mind noise, this place is awesome. If you’re hoping for a quiet night’s sleep, you should look elsewhere, farther from the hustle and bustle of what is a super touristic place packed with people.
