We arrived to Istanbul and were promptly and warmly greeted by our host Tarkan and his assistant. Tarkan's apartment was tidy, spacious, and full of charm. The apartment is perfectly located in the Galata district, a vibrant, distinctive neighborhood. One can easily access the Old City by foot or by rail line. Shamshod, Tarkan's assistant, offered helpful suggestions for restaurants and cultural activities, while also arranging transportation to and from the airport. For the more health conscious traveler, Galata Kitchen which Tarkan's staff recommended, is a tasty, affordable local option. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful place to reside on our memorable vacation.
