We had a great stay here with our two young children- age 5 and age 5 months. The location is perfect- just steps away from the Galata Tower. We enjoyed the neighborhood for the short time we were there and walked across the bridge to see the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and the Grand Bazaar- it's also easy to just hop on the tram. The space is also great- just what we needed. 2 bedrooms- one tucked away for our older son, and the other by the windows with a beautiful view of across the sea. The call to prayer is beautiful in this location and a joy to listen to early in the morning. The kitchen has what you need- we didn't really use it though and the washer/dryer combo was necessary for us after traveling for 2 weeks! It doesn't dry clothes all the way, but you can hang them up and they'll dry quickly. We traveled to Istanbul at the end of February so heat was necessary and once we figured it out, it warmed them place very nicely. We had great weather the first day - 45 and sunny, then second day cold and rainy but we still made the most of it. We were picked up at the airport on time and safely driven to the location and greeted by Elif. Everything was great, but we weren't given a baby cot which we did request- however we ended up not needing it.
