This is a large and characterful space in the middle of Karakoy (Galata) neighborhood. The area still has a lot of charm, even though some streets are completely ‘touristified’. With 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a large living room it is the ideal base to relax after a day in the hectic city of Istanbul. It is a historic building and feels like home. The place has airco in some rooms, but these struggle to keep the rooms cool in the heigth of summer. probably less of an issue in other seasons. We enjoyed exploring the city from this lovely apartment and would definitely recommend staying here. The views from the small balcony are great to, including the Aya Sophia and Blue Mosque.
