Location is very close to the metro and a downhill walk from Taksim which was nice. It was too cold to use the rooftop much, so that was unfortunate for our stay. The apartment is cute, but is 4 floors up stairs. Also, the bathroom is very small, and the shower shares the same space as the wash closet and sink, meaning that the floor stays wet if anyone wants to use the w/c. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and there are many great restaurants and coffee shops across the street downhill. Host is quick to respond and is accommodating.
Only a short walk 1 block up the hill from the metro line. The rooftop view of the Galata Tower was nice at night.
