Location of appartment is just perfect, not too far from old town, where you have a lot of sightseengs and places to visit, 10 min walk to the harbour to go to asian part or islands, and 2 min walk to Galata tower, which you can also see from a panoramic window of the loft. Also the roof top is accessible, we wre drinking coffee there enjoing the view of the old town. The appartment itself is very cosy and nicely furnished, kitchen is equipped, and all hygine and cleaning products are there. As well bottled water is there, so we never worried about bringing it. The street is full of shops with lamps, bulbs, and sometimes the entrance were stucked with boxes, but it's not really a problem. You can have fresh bread, simmits, fruits in this street. Coffee, fresh juice, cakes, and all essential food can be found over the corner, 2 min walk in the shops and restaurants. The hosts are two polite and responsive guys, they were very kind and flexibile to allow us to check in earlier, kudos to them and big thanks!
Hot water in showers, radiators keeping us warm when it was raining outside, projector for watching cartoons for our kid, all is there for a nice pastime if you feel lazy and like to stay indoors. Otherwise cobblestone narrow streets with artisan bakeries, pattiseries, fine and cosy restaurants, shops with vintage and modern stuff, clothes, hand made costume jewellery, vinyl shops, beauty salons can be found in the area. Istiklal street, famous for shopping and restaurants, equivalent of Oxford street in London, is within 10 min walk up the street. We really enjoyed our stay there, and definitely recommend the loft to others.
