The place is situated pretty close to Taqsim square and Galata port. So naturally there are lots to do in a walking distance. The place is neat and tastefully decorated. Murat himself was constantly in touch for anything that we needed.
If you are looking for an authentic Turkish neighborhood, this is the place to be at. Just be mindful that there is no elevator and the place is on the 5th floor; a fact that is clearly mentioned on the place description.
