The location is perfect, very close to Galata Tower and all the surrounding activity, but just far enough removed (a few blocks) to escape the noise. I quickly came to really like this neighborhood (especially Lattas Coffee, just around the corner). The apartment is on the smaller side, but is perfect for a solo traveler, could also work for a couple. Apartment gets good light and a nice breeze if you open the windows. The host was responsive and helpful whenever I needed assistance. Would definitely stay here again.
