The flat was much (!) better than we expected, high ceilings, at least 1500sqft, two large bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen.
We won’t be able to forget the views from the living room, second to none!!!
Both bedrooms have a view over the Golden Horn as well, the home is home is really a dime.
The location is ideal, on a quiet side street without any traffic right behind the Galata Tower, no noise whatsoever!
A quick stroll downhill takes you to the Galata Bridge, Public transport and the Old City (which you can see from the living room); 200m uphill
to Istiklal street.
We didn’t really take advantage of the location though, it was hard to leave the flat. No point in visiting the Galata Tower, the flat has the exact same view and you can enjoy it in privacy with a glass of wine.
Two things the host didn’t mention, the building has a shared rooftop with a 360 degree view over Istanbul, incredible for sundowners and, more importantly, THE BUILDING HAS AN ELEVATOR!!!!
I have a really hard time imagining a better apartment to spend a few days (or lifetimes) in Istanbul, highly recommended!
