Firstly this is a great location in a very quiet street about 100m from Galata Tower. The surrounding streets are mostly pedestrianised with great cafes and shops. It is an easy 10 min walk downhill to the trams and ferries at Karakoy whilst Taksim Square is 15 minutes walk in the other direction along the pedestrianised Istiklal Street. The Metro and Funicular Station is also less than 10 minutes walk. Taking the funicular saves an uphill walk when coming back from Karakoy. The flat itself is well furnished and with a well equipped kitchen. There are two bedrooms each having a double bed. All was very clean and well presented. Good for our winter stay as there was proper central heating which kept us warn.
