For a first timer in Istanbul, this was the ideal introduction to an incredible city. Despite the immense traffic coming from the airport, our hosts waited in the area to drop off our keys and show us the building, and they were helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. The views are unbeatable, and you’re centrally located between the liveliness of Galata, Istiklal Street, Karokoy, and Sultanahmet. Quiet evenings and mornings, a nice local feel, and a blood pumping workout at the end of each day coming up the stairs to work off all the delicious food we had. Clean kitchen and bathroom, tasteful tile and design touches, and nothing weird- I’d easily recommend this place to anyone looking to go to Istanbul.
Hopefully we’ll be back for more soon enough!
