Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying in Julia and Tarkan's apartment. First off, it's in a prime location right at the Galata Tower. You are right in the heart of the action and, as a bonus, it is easy to navigate your way back from anywhere in Istanbul. This is a very active spot in the city with lots of restaurants, bars, shops, etc. The apartment is huge and very well set up. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were awesome, kitchen was great, and there is a nice living room for hanging out. The rooftop terrace is phenomenal - no exaggeration. The views are just amazing; we did not even bother going up in Galata Tower itself because the views were so good from the terrace! Communication was excellent with the manager (on site). We would definitely stay here again!
