We really had a great and amazing stay in Istanbul. The flat provided our large group all the amenities needed to have a comfortable stay. The location was also amazing with the ambiance of a Parisian side street, as if we were actually staying in Paris with several restaurants that accommodated both rooftop and street side tables. The food was amazing, and the shopping was a daily experience of perusing through high fashion designer stores just up the street (Louis Vuitton, Polo, Gucci, etc.). Galata Tower is only two blocks away from the flat and a good location to just sit and enjoy people watching at a restaurant near the tower. Be aware that the flat is located in the old part of the city dating back two or three hundred years when originally constructed. There is no lift / elevator for those requiring handicap accessibility. The flat in general is a great value for all the amenities offered in such a great location. it is located one floor above the main street.
