Stay in this place! It's huge, clean, comfortable, and an amazing location. There are many delicious places to eat right nearby. The Galata Tower is just out the door to the right - a two minute walk. It can be very busy with gawking tourists though so if you're looking to avoid the crowds, just walk out the door and go to the left. Çınar and Devrim were incredible hosts - going above and beyond in every way. I would come back to Istanbul just to stay in this apartment.
