The location is excellent- close enough to Galata Tower to see it and feel like you're right in the action, but also quiet. There are excellent cafes and little shops in the surrounding streets, and only a short walk to a main street for larger shops etc.
The apartment was also clean and well-appointed, and nicely furnished.
It would be good to make clear in the listing, that the booking is not for a specific apartment. It's for an apartment in a building managed by Meroddi Hotel. That was great for check in, but not so good for the listing matching reality. In our apartment, for example, the couch was in a larger bedroom rather than in the kitchen/dining area, so not quite what we were expecting and not so useful for group socializing. On the plus side, we got a little balcony, not promised in the listing, which was wonderful for views of Galata Tower and listening to the call to prayer.
