Great baroque styled apartment in the heart of the city with it's own private elevator and an outstanding view. Cannot stress great the elevator was for my mother who has arthritis (and us younger-uns too tbh).
Grocery shops, great restaurants and Istiklal street just steps away. Whether it's a shopping trip or a sightseeing one, this should be your pick.
The comfortable foldout bed in the upper story lounge (which can be accessed with the previously mentioned elevator) was great for the kids while the two bedrooms also had very comfortable beds.
The view: I don't think the pictures do justice to how amazing the vista is. Sitting on the balcony at dusk and watching the Galata Tower, Hagia Sophia and the various mosque lights come into effect is mesmerising.
Burke deserves a special mention here. Was a pleasure interacting with him with tips about where to get what and how to navigate the city. Helped with our bags as well.
5* stay... Will not be booking anywhere else when we return to Istanbul.
