I spent 5 days at Turkhun’s apartment and it was a very pleasant and convenient stay. The location is perfect regarding proximity to great restaurants and shops plus Galata tower of course and an easy walk (hills) to Karakoy station and Galata bridge.
I had breakfast downstairs at Velvet Cafe which is rated high on Foursquare for breakfast in the neighborhood. I also had dinner right across at Wine and Food restaurant which serves some fantastic Italian dishes. Try the Pinot Noir!
There is no view from the apartment, only looks out to other apartment buildings which is a shame but the terrace access and view is beautiful! You won’t be disappointed here.
