We had the best time at Ilkan’s apartment. The apartment itself is simple but it was very clean and comfortable with a comfortable and very big bed. However, what made it stand out was firstly the location, which was perfect for us. Galata is an amazing area. It is close enough to the touristy area that you can walk, and in fact, it does have one very touristy strip itself, but as soon as you enter the side roads, it is incredibly lovely and charming. It has great bars, restaurants and vintage shops and generally had great character. The second thing which stood out was the amazing roof terrace which Ilkan’s flat gives access to. It has incredible views of the city as well as chairs and sun loungers. We could not recommend this place more highly!
