Really enjoyed our stay at Emir’s place. He was very polite and quick to respond when I needed assistance. The apartment was clean, the appliances and fireplace were great, and nicely decorated. We were here a couple of days and it’s short walking distance to Galata Tower and Istiklal street. It is a hike to get there because of the high elevation on that one street to the right but you can find other ways to get there. It is a little bit noisy at night, but you are in Türkiye. You can’t complain. There’s also a lot of great restaurants. I would recommend Munhasir (very good Turkish food) and Hafiz Mustafa on Istiklal street. It’s also so close to Galataport. We loved that area and went several times for a nice dinner (VANDAL was such a great one!). If you want a stay walking distance to stores like MANGO, H&M, Zara and many Turkish clothing brands, this place is a great choice! Next time I visit, I will surely come here!
