Exactly as described, this was an excellent base for a tourist visit to Istanbul. We were a group of 4 but there was also a sofabed if you want to squash more in. Small but equipped kitchen - we only made tea or coffee. Clean and tidy apartment on the first floor. The Galata tower area has lots going on but a walk (if you don't mind the odd hill), tram ride, metro or taxi can take you in all directions. Grocery stores nearby open until midnight and cafes start opening from about 8am. The apartment had recently been refurbished and two door handles broke - one, on a bathroom door, was fixed after two days, the other, on a bedroom door, was not fixed but we were able to wedge the door closed with a pair of socks . Not a disaster but not brilliant either and the reason for 4 stars not 5. Would happily stay there again.
