The apartment is beautiful -- exactly like the photos and the location is superb. I've been to Istanbul a few times and around Galata tower is by far my favorite area. The most amazing shopping and cafes. I did all my shopping in one little street from the variety of unique stores. The apartment was clean and exactly as described. The outdoor space is very special. I enjoyed laying out in the sun reading a book or having a cup of coffee in the afternoon, listening to the sounds of Istanbul below. The street is below is quiet at night, and is tucked away nearby some of the best vintage shops. A very picturesque experience!
