The apartment is at a great location near Galata Tower and with easy access to other key landmarks. However it was clearly not cleaned for sometime - the floor was very dirty and we had to change the bed sheets with some of the spare ones. The view from the balcony is great, but all nearby buildings are damaged or being repaired, which ruins the experience. The communication with host was minimal but enough for us to find our way. Overall the location is what makes this apartment a great pick, but for our stay, it was clearly not maintained.
