the stay at Erdem's apartment was super cool!
the apartment is well-designed, there was enough space for us 4, and also a living room to chill together. Nice feature was to have 2 bathrooms as well. the rooftop terrace is incredible, you get crazy views and in the morning we used it for open-air yoga. the location is absolutely perfect. you quickly get by foot everywhere, live almost at the Galata tower, and at the same time the house is quite and cozy, so you can sleep well at night. Communication with Erdem was very very pleasant too! he and Cigdem arranged later chekin and later chekout for us and were very welcoming and quickly answering any questions! all in one - highly recommended!! thanks a lot Erdem for making our first visit to Istanbul so charming.
and a littlt tip - Privato Cafe with turkish breakfast at the corner - amazing!
