Quite a unique stylish artistic atmosphere. Great location. Relatively quiet and clean street next to the busiest Istanbul attraction - Galata Tower, lots of cafes with local music (Fri and Sat only) around and highly recommended Kilic Ali Pasha Hamam (the best in the area). You can have you delicious meal downstairs. The owner of the shop is friendly, always smiles, welcomes you and cooks really nice food. Don’t forget to get on the roof, from where you can see a picturesque view of Bosphorus. Communication with the owner is a bit of an issue as online responses are not answered promptly. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay in the apartment - true native Turkish experience. Highly recommended if you want to find out how locals leave their lives in Istanbul.
