The apartment is located very close to the famous Galata Tower (2min walk) and the southern end of Istiklal Street (5-10min walk). We enjoyed our stay in Istanbul and the location was a great base from where we explored Beyoğlu, Cihangir the historical quarter of Eminönü and even Kadıköy. You’ll have a lot of cool restaurants just nearby, endless shopping possibilities and the cool and hip Karaköy down the street. By ferry you can reach Kadıköy, so all the conventional and alternative tourist locations are easily accessible :)
The host was always available, answered fast and it was very easy to get directions and help from him.
