This place is absolutely perfect. Exactly as the pictures describe but better. The view is 10x better than shown in the pictures online and you can see all the major landmarks from the terrace. The terrace is shared but we never saw anyone else up there and it was so great to walk out the flat each morning and see the bosphorus in all it’s glory. The Galata tower is just behind the flat and you can actually see it from the terrace too. Awesome 360 views.
The location is fab. It is amongst the hip and vibrant Istikal/Galata district which is slightly more modern but the restaurants are incredible and the atmosphere is great. just over the bridge is the old town of Istanbul, the grand bazaar and main mosques are very close. We loved being in this location.
Overall a great Airbnb and host! You should definitely book this spot it’s so worth it. Well equipped and comfortable. Would make a great long term let. Views are next to nothing! And location is incredible.
