This 2 bedroom, well-equipped apartment is a beautiful option for the very active, bustling and historic Galata area. There is a cafe and very near, so the social sounds of Istanbul can be heard in evenings. It’s a peaceful, but not silent location: no traffic noise, but yes, sounds of life. A perfect location, easy access to the tram or Metro and walking distance to all variations of shops and cafes. This is a location for people who are conditioned for walking, including hills and steps. PCR Covid testing for international air travel was available by request, through a home-visit tester, results within 8 hours. Less expensive and less chaotic than through the airport. We absolutely loved our stay.
