Great location, just a colorful ten minute walk down to the Golden Horn and the tram across Galata Bridge to all the most famous sights in the old city. And if you don’t want to climb back up the hill, there’s the Tunel, Istanbul’s funicular subway. Going the other way it’s a short walk to the famous dervish lodge and the beginning of Istiklar Avenue. The immediate neighborhood is warm and friendly, the apartment high-ceilinged and comfortable. Ahmet was a great host, promptly replying to all our communications and arranging a taxi ride for our 4 am flight back.
