The apartment was perfect for our needs. It's situated in a fantastic location (close to Galata Tower) surrounded by boutique shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. The apartment itself is well proportioned with high ceilings, tasteful decorations, a good range of amenities and comfortable beds with hotel quality linen. There is a shared rooftop terrace with amazing views of Istanbul (care needs to be taken on the stone stairs going up or down to the rooftop as they're a bit slippery). Communication with our hosts was very smooth from start to finish. Tarkan greeted us on arrival and was happy to answer our questions. He provided us with a great recommendation for dinner that night which we thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Istanbul as you won't be disappointed. Thank you to Julia and Tarkan for making our visit feel even more special.
