Julia and Tarkan’s place has an incredible view of the city. One of the few instances where the place looks even better in person than in photos. The property manager, Taskin, was kind to welcome us late in the evening. Location is excellent with a short walk to major attractions in Taksim and to tram station for other attractions in the city. We did not mind the 5 floors as we then ordered dessert for all our meals :) We highly recommend this place for your visit to the beautiful city of Istanbul!
