Nadira was a gracious hostess. Arrangements to meet her representative at the apartment were well spelled out. The apartment is quite comfortable and very well located. We were able to walk to public transportation and to a number of the sites near the Galata Tower.
We adapted to the 5 floor climb to the apartment after the first day and we wore earplugs at night to block out the occasional sounds from Galata Square.
We would definitely stay at Nadira's apartment again if we travel to Istanbul
