Great apartment in a great location. I knew it was next to Galata tower, but it is literally right outside this apartment. Plenty of cafes, restaurants and markets in walking distance and also centrally located to easily navigate Istanbul. The building itself is old, needs some work, but at the same time part of the charm. The apartment however is excellent and exactly as described/shown. We were a family of 5 and the three separate bedrooms were spacious and well appointed. The Hammam was a nice extra, beds were comfortable, and the heating warm. Wish the weather outside was warmer so we could have enjoyed the terrace more, but the view is great-no need to even climb the Galata Tower. The hosts greeted us upon arrival and were very responsive, perhaps the best we have ever experienced. I definitely recommend Julia and Tarkan’s place, you won’t be disappointed!
