This was the best apartment experience in Beyoglu I could imagine. Baturalp and Juliette are very welcoming hosts (speak perfect English) and helped us plan the rest our our trip in Turkey, even talking on the phone for us when we could not speak Turkish. The 19th century building with the big rooms, high ceilings, and tram underneath is amazing, you truly get a feel of historic Constantinople. Location is the best imaginable for cafes and nightlife, equidistant between Taksim and Galata Bridge with dozens of clubs, shops, bars within less than 5 minutes of walking. I would add that this is a perfect, charming place for young people - being right on Istiklal it can feel like Times Square (or Novy Arbat if you’re Russian).
