Julia, Tarkan and Thiskin ( the property manager) were very helpful throughout our stay. Location is great! The flat is in one of the loveliest and liveliest neighborhoods in Istanbul. Next to Galata tower and close to Taksim square and Istiklal Str. with lots of great options for breakfast, dinner, drinks and shopping. At the same time it is quiet because it is on a small
street off the main road. The street is a little gem! To get to the flat the roads around can be rather steep for some people. However there is the option of using the Şişhane Metro Girişi (tünel) or the tram that stops in Istiklal. The flat is nicely decorated, and has character. It is clean, spacious and comfortable for group of four. Unfortunately we did not use the common terrace on the fifth floor. Although it has great views of Sultanahmet it is not well maintained so it has not been very pleasant to hang around.
