In a classic historic building dating from around 1906-08, this is an excellent place to stay if you want to be in the center of the action and easy access to all of the most known tourist sites in Istanbul. The apartment is on the 2nd floor (3 floors up from ground on very old marble stairs that have endured the rest of time) and it is very large - felt like 125-135sqm at least, really large - and has 2 bedrooms, one with 2 twin beds and one with a full-size bed suitable for 2 average size adults. The apartment is clean and well-organized and everything you need is there - soap, shampoo, towels, etc. and the large kitchen even had drinks (water, even 2 Becks beers) and butter, white soft cheese, etc. for an impromptu breakfast if you want to make it (but with all the excellent food right outside your doorstep why would you want to cook?). The dining room is very large (sits 8 people easily) and the large living room has a nice large sectional sofa with windows right above for fresh air perfect for relaxing. The views are from the rooftop terrace (not the apartment itself) which is several flights up and easy to access for a night view of Galata. The tower is literally steps away - means that there is some noise at night but this usually dies down by 10pm (although later on weekends). At the time of stay there was no A/C but the owners said that it would be installed. Super fast responses and excellent hospitality from the hosts. We’d stay again.
