This apartment in the historic center of Galata is the ideal place to engrave Istanbul as a memory forever into your heart. While the area at Galata Tower is even at night vibrant and crowded, you still are able to find peace and rest in this flat.
Moussaab is a wonderful host who will ensure you receive every necessary information for your stay and is quick to offer help if needed. He ensured that the check in was really easy, even though I arrived late in the evening. The communication is fast, friendly and helpful.
While the apartment offers everything you are going to need to make yourself feel comfortable, just be aware that it is indeed a long stairway into heaven. But nothing compares to the joy you get standing on the roofterrace watching over the Bosphorus onto the gleaming city lights of Eminönü, after exploring the town all day previously. Just ensure to be respectful and considerate with the neighbors in terms of noise. But instead of listening to loud music, it is much more enjoyable to hear the sounds of the seagulls and the echoe of a town that seems to never sleep. The apartment itself was cleaned nicely and decorared in a warm and inviting way.
Since you are in Galata, every kind of store you could need is just a footwalk away. And in case you want to see the most famous sights then everything is easily reachable by tram or subway too. The stations are just a five minute walk away.
All in all, this apartment will definetely make you fall in love with Istanbul even more.
And just like the town itself it is magical, historic and has its own soul and makes you wish you would never have to go. The last night you spend there, you will wish time could freeze.
