The place is exactly as pictured and described, and was just perfect for us! The art and decor were great, and the apartment felt like a home away from home. Loved Beyoğlu as first-time visitors to Istanbul and would definitely stay in the area again - and use Dilek’s place - when we visit again.
Special thanks to Dilek for all the local tips and recommendations - her enthusiasm is infectious and all the places we tried on her advice were authentic, great value, awesome experiences.
The walk from Taksim Square is completely manageable and so is walking across the Galata bridge, taking around 30 min each. Lots of hills so try pack as lightly as possible!
