We loved many things about our stay at Julia and Tarkan’s but the highlights were the view and the location! The shared roof terrace offers an unbelievable view of the city and Galata tower. The location is right next to the tower and in the lovely Galata neighborhood where there are many shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. Getting around Istanbul from the apartment was easy with the tram, ferry and taxis nearby. The apartment itself is spacious, stylish, clean and has all the amenities you may need. The hammam was a nice treat after long days of sight seeing. Communication with Julia, Tarkan and the property manager Taksin was easy and everyone was very responsive to any questions we had. They also gave great recommendations on restaurants and other local tips. When we come back to Istanbul we will stay with them again!
