This is a stylish apartment in a premium location from which you step out into the hustle and bustle of Galata. It's up on the fourth floor (no lift) and offers spectacular views over the Golden Horn and Bosphorus. You see the famous skyline of Old Istanbul all the time. Galata Tower is about 50-100 metres away.
The style is a kind of "deluxe shabby-chic" and if that is your taste, you will love it. Beds are comfortable, big and clean and there were lots of extra crispy clean sheets and big, clean, white towels in the cupboard. The bathroom and shower are very good. There's a great washing machine and ample places to hang clothes to dry; an iron and mini ironing board are provided. There is gas fired central heating that makes the place really warm; so much so that we had to turn some of the radiators off, even though it was winter. The kitchen has a double hob and a microwave, as well as a kettle and big fridge. There was salt and teabags and maybe some other things. Plenty of bowls, places, cups and cutlery. It is not a kitchen for preparing major meals in, but with the amount of food on offer outside the door, we did not feel inclined to cook.
A couple of interior doors were not closing properly, and Deniz had them sorted out immediately with a minimum of fuss. He is generally very communicative and always around when you need him, and he was flexible and patient with our rather fluid arrival and departure.
We stayed there as a family and our children loved the flat. It is not especially quiet; there is too much going on out on the street below, but the noise dies down at some point in the evening and we slept fairly well, except on one Saturday when the partying went on far into the night.
All in all, we were very happy with the apartment and enjoyed our stay there a lot.
