Stunning views from both sides of this upper floor apartment. The description is accurate regarding lots of steps, so pack light. It is well worth it for the views.
The only negative was that it was loud at night but that was because we enjoyed the wonderful breeze off the Bosphorus and we weren’t willing to close up the windows and use the AC.
Right next to Galata Tower, fun area to explore, close to a little market & pharmacy. Bakery with Borek nearby also. We walked over the Galata bridge for the major sight seeing and loved taking the ferry to the Asian side.
It did take a bit of getting use to regarding drinking only bottled water.
I loved the calls to prayer and the old tile with modern kitchen & bath.
I would recommend this place.
