Amazing location and view! Ömer was a great host and very proactive. I would absolutely recommend staying at Ömer’s apartment. You are in the heart of Beyoğlu within walking distance to the Galata Tower, Karaköy, İstiklal Caddesi and just across the bridge is Sultanahmet. This was the best place we could have stayed in Istanbul. We felt very safe. The apartment was fairly quiet, but you could hear the sounds of the street and the city. We really enjoyed watching the sunset from the upstairs terrace and the apartment. It’s a fairly small space but that was completely fine as we spent most of our time out and exploring Istanbul!
