f you are looking for a place to stay in Istanbul THIS IS THE PLACE!
The location is PERFECT! I know everyone says their location is good but allow me to explain.
It’s in a cute side street in the Galata area. The Galata area has an old Europe charm, cute cobblestone streets, adorable artists and shops. It’s a short walk to istiklal (busy street with shops and cafes and nightlife) and Taxim (major hub)
We walked to the old town and all the historical sites, we walked to the port to take a cruise, and literally everywhere!
We were considering staying with our friends at the Hyatt which was in a “fancy area” but not walking distance to anything. I can’t express how happy I am we decided to stay in this arbnb and in this area over that.
The apartment is SUPER clean, very bright, open and airy, well decorated and has a FANTASTIC VIEW from each room!!
The host helped up take up our suitcases. There are many steps but it was not an issue at all!!!
