An absolutely stunning location! Being situated right near Galata Tower was a very convenient location for checking out the local sights, and close to public transport.
The accommodation was also gorgeous, with modern furnishings in a historic building. Great for couples or families with four bedrooms, with plenty of space for all. For larger parties, just note there is only one bathroom available.
However, the piece de resistance was access to the rooftop terrace, which was worth the money alone. As the most elevated building in the area (only surpassed by Galata Tower itself), you have 360 degree views of the Bosphorus! During our week’s stay, and we were on the rooftop most evenings with nibbles and a bottle of wine, just taking in the view. On such occasions, I enjoyed looking up at all the tourists gathered on Galata Tower to see the view, while I enjoyed the same view with a glass of wine!
Mehmet was a great host, and very accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend!
