All in all, we had a nice 5-night stay at Omer's place despite some unexpected issues about uncleanliness upon our check-in, e.g. the dustbin was not emptied, 'remnant' in the toilet from the previous guest, unhygienic-looking oven and dishwasher, and un-vacuumed carpet. The apartment is centrally located -- only a few steps away from Galata Tower and next to a great cafe called "Federal Galata" which offered a very impressive range of tasty breakfast options. However, we were not sure if the apartment's neighbourhood matches our lifestyle as we were travelling with a small toddler. The neighbourhood is very 'lively', perhaps for young people, but not for us. Our toddler had troubles sleeping at night because of the noise from the bars/restaurants nearby...and so did we. If we were young(er) carefree travellers, we would have enjoyed it more. The steep hill was also a killer for us, preventing us from using a stroller for our child. Instead, we had to carry her all day to everywhere just because the hill on the way back to Omer's place was too steep for a stroller, and that made our day-out more exhausting. In summary, it is a good place for young people, baby-free couples looking for a bit of daily excercise and lively night-out. But if you are travelling with a baby or a toddler like us, perhaps you may prefer staying in a 'flat' and 'quiet' area to make your life easier.
