This is a lovely, stylish apartment, very clean and the amenities are modern. The old decorations found under the wallpaper and the beautifully restored woodwork make this a stunning location. There are views out the window to the Galata Tower and across the water, and it is around the corner from one of our favourite places, the Privato Cafe. It is a few hundred metres away from the home of the Whirling Dervishes and the whole area is packed with restaurants and great shopping. The only negative was the eight flights of stairs, but the view was worth it when we got home. We loved the air conditioning on some very unseasonably hot days, as well. Esra was very helpful. Highly recommended.
