Faruk’s place is great. Right between beyoglu and changihir there are various bars / cafes / restaurants to choose from.. it’s also 4 min walk to the tramline that drops you off to the old city sites.. the apartment is very nice and the terrace is very spacious.. there are stairs to get to the top floor but the whole area is hilly so you’ll get used to it! Wi-Fi and amenities were great. Great view of the Galata tower also!!
