Spacious place with a great view although the old building opposite was a bit of a distraction. Outstanding location close to Şişhane Metro, Istiklal and Galata Tower - all just a few minutes walk from the apartment. Lots and lots of great food outlets and shops in lovely old cobbled streets. The area is full of youthful energy, vibe and vigour. No washing machine at the apartment so you'll need to use the laundry service nearby which isn't really cheap though. Ertugrul was very helpful and responded very quickly to all questions asked
