A magical location in the heart of Istanbul. We fell in love with the Galata area. The place was beautiful and equipped with everything you need. Lovely dining area with a large cozy couch. It is surrounded by cafes and restaurants and just a walking distance to the main shopping areas such as Isitklal and Taksim. We walked to all the sites in Beyoglu and Sultanahmet. Washing machine and the second bathroom were a plus. There can be some noise at night, as it’s a lively neighborhood. The host, Fatih, was always just a message away. He was very responsive and helped us with arranging transportation. I highly recommend this apartment and would definitely stay here again when we visit Istanbul in the future.
