The property is in a great location, just not in such a great building. If you want to stay in the Galata area, there are hotels and other rental apartments available. Kadir is a very responsive and nice person to deal with as the property manager. However, there was nothing in the description of the property that said it is on the 6th floor of a building with no elevator. People need to be informed of that fact up front - if you have mobility issues, this place is not for you. In addition, the street noise is significant until 1:00-2:00 am and the upstairs neighbors are awful. We stayed for two weeks and more than 10 nights of our stay involved hearing people run around, jump and hit balls off of the walls and floors of the unit above us at anywhere from 1:00-3:00am. Some street noise is expected but this property is on a very busy street for foot, car and motorcycle traffic - loud people, horns and motors are a constant. The windows of the apartment are not able to dampen the noise at all even six floors up. In addition, the refrigerator didn’t work for the entire stay and two men entered the apartment without notice or permission one morning (later found out they were there to look at the refrigerator) but scared my wife half to death. All-in-all, unless you want to be forced to get your steps in and are a heavy sleeper, I’d suggest staying elsewhere.
