What an absolutely fantastic apartment and host! We stayed for ten days. It is a stone's throw from Istiklal Street, with tons of restaurants, shops, antique shops, and markets. It is walking distance from everything - Galata Tower, the underground funicular, and even the sights in Sultanhamet across Galata bridge. We walked to everything. And the apartment itself is so charming and comfortable. There were plenty of towels and bed linens, and the apartment is so well stocked with plenty of pots and pans, so many dishes and cups, and plenty of cutlery. There was also food (rice, lentils, and spices), snacks, coffee, and tea. The washing machine was great and the dishwasher an added bonus. We loved Beyoglu and loved this apartment and highly recommend it as an excellent place to stay in Istanbul.
