We really enjoyed our stay at Fatih's apartment. It is located in a trendy neighborhood and easy walking distance to bustling Istiklal street, Galata tower, and Karakoy pier. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and also the convenience of the nearby metro. Although the neighborhood is quite modern, it still has an old world feel and a lack of hotels makes it very quaint and authentic. We also appreciated the maps and books in the apartment as well as perks like a washer!
