A real gem situated close to touristy Galata area but away from the hustle bustle. It has easy access to Istiklal Street and Metro station that can take you to the old city and Taksim city center within minutes. Communication with Ahmet was quick and easy. The building staff and security were really wonderful. They helped us with little things like wifi and calling up taxis for the airport by using google translate to understand our English. The beautiful private garden made us want to move to Istanbul to live there for a while! The apartment was perfect for our family of three. I'd say our stay in Istanbul was made very special by this lovely home away from home! We all want to come back to it. 😊
