This apartment is a real find; a true gem. It is located in a 'touristy' section of Istanbul, 50m from the Galata Towers, in a quiet alley surrounded by small shops. Although the small kitchen has the basics, there are several restaurants close-by with their friendly owners making it very difficult not to visit them every day. A highlight and great start to my day was a morning coffee on the small balcony overlooking the alley. The hosts, Mesut and Eylül, were unbelievably friendly and supportive. Nothing was impossible; they even helped carry my luggage.
