Great apartment in a great location and neighborhood. Taksim is one street away, Galata tower 30 seconds away, food and drinks around all night into the morning (without loud music keeping you up). The highlight of this apartment is the balcony (a little smaller than the pictures) which has an unparalleled view of Galata tower. Apartment can be a little tight on space at times but I didn’t need any more. They have a new ac unit installed which helps keep cool. There is no elevator however as it’s a historical building, that should be kept in mind but it’s manageable. Communication with host was simple and timely.
