Elif and Marco are pleasant and helpful. The flat is within easy reach to most attractions in Istanbul in particular iconic views from the flat window overlooking the sea. The Galata Tower, Taksim Square shops and specialist kebab houses, street markets, a walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Haghia Sophia, spice Bazaar, Grand Bazaar and many more. We enjoyed ourselves in Istanbul and will not forget the Hamam Bath. If you love culture and history stay at Marco and Elif's Galata Tower Terrace. It is very safe. The walking around did us all good.
