My stay at Arda’s apartment was lovely. It was a very centrally located apartment in the Galata area of Istanbul. Although the areas surrounding the apartment’s location are busy and packed with people, the street the apartment is located on is a quiet street with several good cafes located just a few steps away. This is one of my favorite areas of Istanbul and I was happy to enjoy it from Arda’s beautiful apartment. The balcony is also a nice place to relax in the evening . Definitely recommend staying here!
