We chose Ferhat place because we wanted to be close to shops, restaurants, Galata tower etc. The place exceeded our expectations. Ferhat is an excellent host. He responded to all our questions and queries. The place was clean and the price was reasonable. If you are looking to experience Istanbul and be close to all the major attractions then this is the place to be. Walking distance to Galata Tower, subway station, shops and restaurant. We would definitely go back and stay here in the future.
