This apartment is quite charming. an old Istanbul building with original wood floors and exposed brick but a very modern well equipped kitchen and newish bathroom. Sila was a generous host who accommodated me with an early check in after my transatlantic flight. It is located a bit down the hill from galata tower. about halfway between karakoy and the tunel stop at Istakal. The street is not attractive with electric shops but the apartment is not noisy and it is quiet at night.
