Location, location, location! This apartment is located in the HEART of Istanbul. There are MANY MANY MANY shops and restaurants on this street. I found myself finding new places everyday during my stay. It is about 2 mins from the Galata Tower and about 7 mins from the train. Although this house is beautiful please be prepared to WALK. You must walk up about 8 flights of stairs to get to the apartment . And you must walk up and down hills to reach public transportation. Oktay was very helpful in helping us bring our bags up and he responds very quickly to anything you may need. Overall this house is just like the pictures and has soo much charm. It is a really beautiful and unique property. I would definitely stay here again!
