This appartment is AMAZING!!! just way off, a ten stars will not be enough.
The location is THE PLACE TO BE! just a few steps away from Galata Tower. All the sights within walking distance. It is on the main street of Karaköy, shops, supermarket, Cafés, restaurants - you name it.
eventough it is in the heart of Istanbul, one can enjoy quiet nights and good sleep due to excellent windows.
the appartement is most beautifully decorated. very fine taste, elegant, not overdone, just so perfect, we loved it!
now the view!!! OMG! I could't really believe the description and the pictures kind of doubted it. But it is even a thousand times more exciting. 360 degrees view. breath taking!!! imagine taking a bath overlooking the Golden Horn. you cannot...
well, and then the roof terrace, huuuuuge, and a view you will never forget. other tourists wait for hours and pay lots of money for a glimpse from the Galata Tower. but you live there!!! I cannot put it into words.
Oktay was sooo friendly, polite, helpful and patient with us - Thank you Thank you thank you! He even organized for us private transfer to the airport (60€), which worked out perfectly!
If you can get a hold of this appartment - go for it and treat yourself for the greatest time you can dream of in Istanbul - But do not do so when I want to be there!!!
