We had a great week in this very comfortable and clean apartment. It's right next to the Galata-tower, from which you have an amazing view over the city. The tram to the Hagia Sophia, etc. is only a 10min walk away. The ferry-station a 15min walk.
Around the apartment is a lot of life since many tourists stay in this area, but it was always quite enough to catch some sleep.
Also not far away is a big shopping street leading to the taksim-square.
We can really recomend this place. Filiz, a friend of Nadira's, took very good care of us!
