Beatrix 8.0

You are in the heart of one of Istanbul’s old neighbourhoods! Imagine small alleys with lots of shops and restaurants around you (ok, sloped small alleys, as you are on top of a hill in town). The view from the terrace (if you booked the 5th floor apartment) overlooks the Golden Horn and the bustling city. Gorgeous! The top floor apartment was spacious, with a king-sized bed, a separate toilet, large living and dining room. Oddly, the bathroom with a shower was very tiny. There is a subway/metro exit 3 minutes up the hill, but it requires a very long walk through connecting tunnels and down multiple escalators to the actual subway. Wouldn’t recommend trying with any substantial luggage….

The location was ideal, in a quiet side street yet just a few minutes walk from Galata tower and all its hustle and bustle. The apartment was massive and had all the amenities we needed such as washing machine and dryer.

Juyoung 10.0

The apartment was spacious and clean, with a very good location that felt safe. The bed was comfortable, and the water pressure was excellent. The staff were very kind and always willing to help with any questions. I used the airport pick-up service, and although there was an issue with the driver, I mentioned it when I did check-in and the staff were willing to resolve the problem. I truly appreciate the efforts of Kardelen, Yunus, and Batuhan :)

Maria 10.0

Location was perfect for us in gorgeous arty area tucked away in winding little laneways, and Istiklal street just a stones throw away. View of the Bospherous was stunning. Our villa was enormous and very well equipped. Hosts at reception were very helpful and pleasant. 10/10 on all counts.

Sina 10.0

We stayed at one of the Galateia Residence Duplex Apartments (apartment B7) for 8 nights with my father, mother, and sister. Our overall experience was very pleasant, and I would highly recommend this place for your stay in Istanbul. The apartment is quite spacious with a large terrace. Downstairs includes two bedrooms: one large bedroom with its own bathroom, and another relatively small bedroom. There is also another guest bathroom in the hall. Upstairs, there is a kitchen with all the basic kitchenware needed for cooking, and a very large living room with a beautiful view of the sea and Istanbul port, where you can see large cruise ships arriving and departing. The cooling system is very effective; even when it was very warm outside, the temperature inside was pleasant. There is also a safe inside the apartment that you can use. Another very important advantage is the neighborhood. The Galateia neighborhood, in my opinion, is one of the most vibrant and interesting places you can visit and stay in Istanbul. It has a European vibe with beautiful and historical buildings all around, while also being very safe. Although the street of the residence is very quiet, it only takes a three-minute walk to reach the heart of the nightlife in the neighborhood with all the bars. Usually, we drank some wine at home and then went to the nearby streets to experience the nightlife. There are also many different supermarkets nearby that you can buy your groceries at. The staff were really helpful whenever we needed something. For example, when we asked them for economical transportation, they called yellow taxis for us. The drivers were very friendly, and their prices were fair.

It's a real apartment, not just a hotel room: very comfortable! There's a kitchen as well, and plenty of room. Location is simply perfect: * Right next to Şişhane metro stop (easy ride to airport by M2+M11) * Right next to İstiklal Avenue * Next to Galata tower * Short walk to Galata bridge (but be prepared for hills, of course) * Several fashionable Istanbul neighborhoods are nearby. * Despite all of the above, it's actually very quiet at night! Bed was comfortable. There was even a Netflix account for the apartment! P.S. Just a pointer if you're taking the metro: make sure you take the closest exit at Şişhane, otherwise it will be a long walk)
