This place has a killer location, just footsteps from the Galata Tower and all of the trendy restaurants. This is the place to stay. You are close to old Town but can avoid being bothered by carpet vendors. The apartment is spacious. The shower is hot. The bed is comfy. We enjoyed the balcony. Chiko waited for us for over an hour to meet us at check-in which was seamless for us. This was a very good value for the money. I am so glad that we did not stay on the other chat side of the channel.
