The flat has a very spacious and nicely decorated living area, with a super view including the Galata Tower. The bedrooms are a good size, with particularly comfortable beds. The flat is very well situated for local amenities, with a very nice, reasonably priced restaurant literally across the road and only a 5 to 10 minute walk to Taksim Square and the vibrant thoroughfare of İstiklal Caddesi and its offshoots, which offer lots of shopping, eating and drinking options. The excellent Turkish bath, Galatasaray Hamani, is also within a very reasonable walking distance.
Tugay and Mertcen were great hosts, meeting us on arrival and helping us with our bags, and responding quickly to any enquiries. Definitely strongly recommend.
