This is a gorgeous apartment, located in a great area. It's close to the main Galata Tower area, yet far enough that you feel like you can also get away from the crowds. Also, and I am sure most people don't realize this, but if you walk Down the street from the apartment, you end up in a wonderful area close to the water, at the border of Cihangir, which is a neighborhood full of great shops, places to grab coffee, etc. Don't miss stopping at the tiny toy store that is on this street and if you have shoes that need fixing, there is a man who can do this almost instantly. The apartment itself is spotless, comfortable, and lovely. We would be happy to stay there again on a future trip to Istanbul. Thanks!
