If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Istanbul, look no further! The apartment is centrally located, 3 mins away from Galata Tower, and in the heart of the city. There are cafes and restaurants right downstairs, charming cobblestone streets all around you, & a mini mart 2 doors from you. The tram and bus stops are 5 mins walk away, and it actually doesn't take too long to walk over the bridge and get to Eminonu to take the ferry or close to Hagia Sofia. We easily walked to Istiklal street, Cihangir area, and all around Galata/Karakoy. The apartment itself is clean, big, and feels like you're living in NYC. There's a well equipped kitchen which allowed us to cook a few meals during our stay. Ilkan, the host, is very quick to answer any questions you have and check-in was seamless. If I get the chance to come back to Istanbul, I will definitely stay here again!
