The Urban Blue Residence is in a great location - very central in Galata, with lots of design shops and restaurants literally on our doorstep. Doruk had provided helpful tips on his favourites, but we also enjoyed our own voyage of discovery in this great neighbourhood. The area is also very handy to all sights - although the steep hills made the funicular a very attractive alternative at the end of the day. The apartment had everything we needed and a wonderful design aesthetic. We would definitely recommend it.
