The apartment is perfectly located close to the Galata tower and two minutes from Istiklal street, however being accross the road from the church it is very quiet, in a very noisy city, so that counts for a lot. We loved space, which is well designed and furnished. Check in and out was easy with Murat always appearing just as we did! We were able to do laundry, a bonus whilst travelling. I would suggest a coffee machine as none of us drink instant coffee, however there are numerous coffee shops in area to enjoy morning coffee! The second bedroom is smaller than what I expected and the sheet looked as if someone had slept on it before. Also there were no top sheets, just a type of cotton blanket. I also could not open my window (no airconditioner in the room) because a stray cat kept on coming in! But that is Istanbul, home of the cats!
