The best stay in Istanbul. Perfect location and an oasis of peace in a rather lively neighbourhood! From here you can easily reach Sultanahmet by tram (stop is less than 5 mins away) but also get a ferry to the Asian side of the city. Also, the nearby Galata and Taksim offer a huge amount of places to eat, have a drink or enjoy a Çay/Turkish kahve without the chaos of the extremely touristy area around the main visiting spots. If you're considering treating yourself to a hammam experience - highly recommended - the Kılıc Ali Pasa Hamam is a stone's throw from the flat.
Last but not least, Iclal is very responsive and always at hand to help out with questions and service. Look no further for the perfect - and not too touristy - stay!
