The apartment is very very conveniently located just the right distance away from the hullabaloo of Galata tower but accessible within a few minutes’ walk to all the touristy stuff as well as public transit. We thanked the fact that we chose this apartment and this location every single day of our trip. Istanbul is so much fun and this apartment definitely made our experience that much better. The views from the balcony- the golden horn, an inlet of the Bosphorous :) - are unmatched. I do wish we had had longer to make better use of the balcony and the space. The wifi is reliable- we were working and attending zoom calls for a few days and it worked seamlessly.
The two rooms are separate with an entire floor separating them, so the lack of a door did not mean a lack of privacy. The whole apartment is very clean and well thought out. Well equipped and convenient too.
Zehra is an amazing host, super helpful, and very prompt and hospitable. She was a message away for any questions on the city and booked our taxis back to the airport. And, Zehra is a fabulous conversationalist to boot! We even got to hang out with her at the local pub. Thanks for hosting us!
