Zehra's place is warmly recommended, particularly for families, since the twin room, roof deck and living room can accommodate a group. With easy access to the Galata area (worth the hill climb), Galata jazz club, tram, Galata bridge to the many notable sights of Sultanahmet, and more, you'll delight in walking from Asia to Europe every day. Stylish touches like thoughtful 'welcome' gifts add to the apartment's charm. The apartment is in the hardware district and is indeed somewhat noisy in the day, but it transforms at night into a deserted canvas for street artists and grafittists. Check out Zehra's store, ParisTexas, in the chic shopping area by Galata Tower.
