Quirky, Bohemian 'real Istanbul' experience - I loved this little apartment and even more the rooftop terrace above you -and the neighbourhood is a delight, v near Galata and Galata port, but quieter - bookstores, little cafes, jewellers...all great. They could not have been more welcoming or attentive. It's not for the unfit! The area is steep but the apartment is a walk-up and it is shabby-chic and simple, not to everyone's taste but suited me perfectly for work and play in inspiring Istanbul
