This apartment is just outside of the main Galata square and has a beautiful view of the sunrise and sunset! Bahar was very quick to communicate via text and went out of her way to make accommodations easier for me.
This space is not set up well for cooking. The kitchen is small, with just a hot plate. You have to move the microwave from the top of the fridge so you can plug it in to use it. No drying rack for dishes. But - the food in Galata is amazing, so, it’s easy to just eat out.
You can hear the TV and music from the floor below, which was quite loud late into the night. There was also an unpleasant odor coming from the bathroom. The stairs are spiraled and narrow, and this apartment is on the top floor - no lift. Be prepared to carry your luggage up and down.
Good wifi. Having a washer was also a major plus.
