This apartment way exceeded my expectations. As a former istanbul-er, I can assure that this place has one of the best panaromic views of istanbul covering hagia sophia, topkapi palace, halic, galata tower, blue mosque and more. The hosts are professional, they’re running many apartments in the area, so they’ll be within your reach if you ever need something 24/7. During my visit the washing machine didn’t work, so they immediately helped me with the laundry after my message. Also the neighbourhood offers a very balanced blend of modern and authentic places, you can find a cute pickle store next to an amazing italian restaurant. It’s only 12 min walk to karakoy and 5 min walk to istiklal caddesi. Honestly this was one of the best apartments that I stayed in istanbul.
