We are a family of four with two teens. We had a great stay at this place. Birol was a fantastic host, he answered our questions very promptly and checked in with us regularly. The apartment is centrally located a very short distance to Galata tower. There is everything you need within walking distance. Great restaurants, cafes and small shops. There is a fantastIc cafe, Federal cafe, right next door that serves Australian/European coffee and breakfast. There is an amazing bakery/cafe Sirin Firin around the corner. There are some nice souvenir shops too. We walked across the bridge to the Sultanahmet area but you could get a taxi or Uber. Due to the narrow one way streets there wasn’t too many available taxis close by so you may need to walk a little way or book one. The only thIng to bear in mind with this apartment is it’s right in the middle of two busy streets. The tower is a magnet for tourists and young people getting photos and hanging out. It’s quite noisy at night with revellers and cars blasting out loud music. This is outweighed by the benefits of the location but needs to be mentioned for a fair review. Overall, an amazing apartment in a fantastic location, fully recommended.
