The Galata Tower is literally right there. We honestly could not have asked for a better location. The front door opens to a lively street with restaurants, shops, a grocery store , bars, salons, and of course, the tower. Noise wasn't an issue, even though we were so close to all of the action. There are a lot of stairs ( 94 I believe), but I just saw them as a way to work off some of the baclava .
The place itself was very clean. The bathtub and shower were fantastic. It was also nice that there was a washing machine.
In my opinion, the best feature was the views! You have an amazing view of the Galata Tower off the front balcony, and a beautiful view of the city and Bosphorus off the back. We will absolutely be staying here again during our next trip to Turkey.
