Missy’s apartment is absolutely perfect for travellers in Istanbul. It is located on a quiet, traditional, cobbled street within the very vibrant and buzzing Galata area. It was spotlessly clean and has everything you could need. The building feels safe and quiet, even more so as her apartment is at the top of the building. The VIEW is stunning. This apartment has the best view in Istanbul, trust me!
A couple of things to improve (just small things!)
1. The shower pressure and temperature control were not great. It is quite weak and difficult to get the right temperature.
2. The curtains in the main bedroom are very old and thin. They don’t keep the light out.
3. There is only one chair on the outside balcony which is a shame because it meant only 1 person could sit on the balcony and enjoy the view.
4. Towels, pillows, bedding could do with an update soon, but they do the job for now!
Overall, a brilliant apartment and I highly recommend it. Missy is an excellent host and she responded very quickly whenever I contacted her. Make sure you wander down the street to the Lebanese café “Arada” at the bottom of the hill for breakfast. It’s beautiful!
