We loved our stay in this elegantly decorated and extremely well-located apartment in Galata, a cool Istanbul district full of shops, bars and winding side streets.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable with plentiful hot water and a chic and well equipped kitchen.
Bedrooms are effectively cooled by air con units in the hottest weather – the sitting and dining room are warmer.
The apartment is quiet – surprisingly so considering how lively the surrounding streets are.
Head up three or four flights of stairs to get to the roof terrace. Great views, if a little basic.
What made it special was the tasteful and individual style of the apartment, the original features and the great location, out of the somewhat crazy city centre but near enough to make Aya Sophia and other major sights a pleasant walk across the Galata Bridge.
We would definitely rebook.
