A deceptively great apartment & location once across the busy main road you are in the main hub of İstiklal Caddesi for shops and Galata tower area with great bars, rooftop terraces for panoramic views and sunset. Handy small shop opposite apartment for water, beer, bread...
Really enjoyed Kevok restaurant, no. 38 Tepabasi, Beyoğlu, in walking distance, for super tasty vegetarian mezze, salads, good meats, wines, excellent service, friendly staff. Good portion size and value.
We walked everywhere but transport system is excellent, tram, metro, yellow taxi’s (blue taxis are private) .
Vibrant city with many cigarette smokers!
