We chose this lovely apartment because it looked suitable and comfortable for 2 couples to stay and it certainly was. The 2 bedrooms and bathrooms are at separate ends of the apartment, so there is privacy too.
I didn't do much research about the Beyoglu district beforehand and the beauty and charm of the Galata Tower area (the apartment is 2 minutes walk from the tower) was a wonderful surprise. There are winding cobble lanes and many interesting little shops/boutiques, cafes and restaurants to explore.
The apartment is perfectly situated on a quiet side street and only 10 minutes walk from the famous shopping street Istiklal Caddesi.
Izel, our host, ordered transport for us to and from the airport and I'm very glad that we chose this option, it saved us a lot of hassle. The vehicles are much bigger than a regular taxi and there was plenty of room for the 4 of us and our suitcases.
From start to finish Izel took perfect care of us, we were very impressed with the level of care, attention to detail and the excellent communication with our hosts - they fully deserve their 'Super Host' status and it is a real pleasure to be able to give them a warm recommendation!
