The location is right in the heart of Galata, literally a few meters from the tower. This means there is a lot of noise all of the time. If you need quiet to sleep, this is not the place for you. However, if you are used to city life and noise at all hours, the location is perfect: fruit and vegetable vendors are located at the base of the building on either side, there is a Migros supermarket across the street, you are 3 mins from Istiklal by foot, and 15 minutes walk down the hill to the Karakoy pier ferry and nearby fish market.
The apartment itself is clean and fresh and exactly as pictured. The internet was perfect for remote work. The kitchen is set up for cooking and we were able to cook most of our meals without a problem. The apartment is on the fourth floor with no elevator, but wide stairs with a railing. Even on hot days, opening the balcony doors on either side of the apartment creates a strong breeze that keeps the apartment comfortable. Would stay again!
