A must stay when in Istanbul. Absolutely great area right next to the Galata tower and walking distance to quite a few sites. Only 5 minute walk to the nearest tram stop. We loved walking everywhere (most things are within 30 minutes walk). The apartment is beautiful and historic. They have thought of everything and it honestly felt like home away from home after long days of exploring. Julia and Tarkan were also great at replying to any questions very quickly. I would recommend this to anyone. I will certainly be back here when in Istanbul.
