We absolutely loved our stay at Julia and Tarkan's beautiful apartment! It was literally steps away from Galata Tower and the rooftop was - in our opinion - even better than the top of the Tower. I would also highly recommend their apartment if you're traveling with little ones. We came with our 9-month-old baby, and Julia & Tarkan were amazing to help arrange airport pick-up/drop-off with a car seat, as well as a crib and high chair in the apartment. Since the location was so central, it was easy to pop out and see sites then come home when the baby was ready for a nap. At which point, this mama enjoyed some rest and relaxation in the hamam, which was *wonderful* by the way. If we're ever back in Istanbul, we'll definitely be staying here again!
