One of the best Airbnbs I've ever stayed at!
Hosts Oktay and Derya are friendly, professional and super communicative. Everything was smooth and easy.
The apartment is on the 5th floor (with elevator) and has spectacular views of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn. It's amazing to wake up to the sight of the Istanbul skyline. Lot of sunlight, bright and airy rooms, new furnishings, full amenities, everything very well-appointed and clean.
Incredible location, just steps from Galata Tower. Plenty of cafes nearby (Suheyla is my favourite), and a well-stocked supermarket (SOK). Souvenir shops line the road; a bit touristy, but a fun vibe .
It's a 10-minute downhill walk to Karakoy tram stop, Karakoy pier, and the Galata bridge. Tram 1 will take you to Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar. Or you can walk 5-10 minutes uphill to Istiqlal street. Sishane metro station is also nearby. And don't miss the tunel (funicular).
Strongly recommended!
