We had a great 4 day stay at Esra’s apartment. Galata is a wonderful base in Istanbul, full of character but still easy to reach all of the sites. It’s extremely helpful that the apartment is located exactly next to the Galata tower - which means as long as you can see the tower, you can never get lost! We had several questions for Esra throughout our stay and she always answered within minutes. We also appreciated the delicious fresh-baked cookies and fruit that was left for us. We would stay again!
