What an amazing view! Especially loved the dawn light falling on the mosques and palace across the water and the lights on the Galata tower at night. The apartment looks out at all the main sights of Istanbul while being conveniently located near restaurants and lively shopping areas, and is easily connected by the regular tramline to the old City. Be prepared for a short walk up the hill and stairs to climb, but the view is worth it and the apartment super comfortable. We appreciated the apartment's air conditioning, washing machine, roof terrace, quiet night sleeps and comfortable spaces to relax. Thank you Osman for your excellent hospitality, providing a tram card, carrying our bags, and advice on places to eat. We felt very lucky to have found your place!!
