This is a gem of a place and the description doesn't even come close to doing justice to how amazing it is. Close to Galata tower - you can soak in the "old city" living with the quirky shops, cafes and restaurants. A short walk up is a maze of alleyways which has some of the best Turkish restaurants in the city. Izel was absolutely wonderful - showed us around and even spent time helping us plan our stay over a cuppa coffee. The apartment is tastefully decorated and helps that the interiors are brand spanking new. Easy access to Tunel, Tophane and Karikoy tram stations. This is truly a gem!
