Nice and spatious flat in a prime location, right near the Galata tower. The location couldn’t have been better. There is a stunning view from the top terrace, probably the best view you can get in this part of Istanbul. Make sure to watch the sunrise and sunset from here.
There is also a nice coffee place right accross the street, worth checking it out. It also has beautiful views and it was great to have turkish coffees and cakes there in the mornings.
The showers in the flat are amazing, hot water, good pressure and “rain” options. There are two showers.
The beds are comfortable and there are crisp white bed sheets and towels provided (a lot of them).
There is a washing machine and washing powder available.
The living room is very big and great to gather around. I like the little window opening which connects the kitchen with the living room.
The WiFi is good enough for things one would normally do on a holiday (check e-mails, surf internet, make calls). But not very stable if you have any business needs (remote work on your laptop). The router is in the neighbouring flat downstairs.
It was a bit dissapointing that the look of the flat didn’t match very well the photos, which maybe need updated. All the artwork (all the paintings, photos and some mirrors on the walls), along with all the green plants and carpets are not there anymore. This makes the flat look a bit bare and impersonal. Especially the bedrooms looked a bit like hospital rooms, only white walls and white sheets and nothing else. Only the big mirror in the living room is left as decoration.
Some soap in the bathrooms would have been good (there were only a few drops left) and the sofa covers can benefit from a quick run in the washing machine.
Apart from this, all good. I repeat: the location and views are amazing!
