Faruks place is the best you’ll get in the area: excellent location and amazing BOSPHORUS view..very close to shops, restaurants and the famous istiklal street ,Taksim square and Galata port , Tram station just a minute away from The apartment exactly the same as u see in the photos. Extremely well designed, and clean. I fell in love with the place the moment you walk in. Clean spacious bathroom with hot water available at all times. Faruk is an excellent host and always available for any queries. I will surely return here when I’m around Istanbul.
