Irem and Cihan are very responsive and helpful! The apartment is clean and well-equipped. It is located near to many of the Istanbul attractions. The renowned Taksim square, historic Istiklal avenue and Dolmabahce palace are in walking distance. We enjoyed spending time at Galata port in the evenings which is only few minutes of walking to get there. but it is also important to mention that the area has steep roads. Sometimes we used the stairway (100 stairs - and it was challenging for us) to get to the port.
