Pros:
- The view and proximity to galata tower was a plus - the balcony is a great spot to start and end the day.
- the location is walking distance to great bars, restaurants, and public transport
- The apartment is spacious and relatively quiet for being so close to the tower
- We loved the tub
- Host replies back quickly
- Easy check in and the cleaning lady was nice.
- Fully equiped kitchen
- Homey decor with a collection of cd's, books, and board games to entertain you
Cons:
- Area is a bit complicated for cars/taxis as it is more pedestrian oriented, we got lost on arrival and the host was not helpful providing further directions, or with luggage accomodations during checkout - so bear in mind that checkout is at 10 and you cannot leave your luggage a minute past then even though check in is at 3.
- Five flights up stairs without elevator
- No a/c so we recommend going during cooler months if you do choose to book here. We slept with all windows and doors open and two fans pointed at us, yet still woke up sweating. It was stuffy inside 7/24. This place would be great if there were even one a/c unit :(
- Bathroom is inside of a bedroom so the layout might be awkward for multiple couples.
- Large uphill walk to get to the metro station.
