This is in the heart of Galata and offers an amazing view to both Halic and Bosphorus (from the roof). It is also possible to see the Galata tower from one side of the building. The street is filled with old buildings with great architecture. You are in a short walking distance from the "center" of Istanbul and also other main attractions. There are lots of nice cafes, pubs, and restaurants nearby. Ugur is a perfect host. He is attentive and tries his best to make your stay a great experience. Also communication is great. The apartment is small but sparkling clean and equipped with everything you might need during your stay. Highly recommended and would definitely come again.
