Akif's place in the hip Beyoglu area of Istanbul is perfect to explore the nearby Isiklal street and / or the eateries around Galata Tower. Ferries and most public transport is between 2-10 mins walk away. We loved the apartment and were well taken care of by Akif. The place was well stocked and clean. He even managed to send us a spare key because we'd lost ours, at 1 AM in the night! Strongly recommended for your next visit to Istanbul.
