Fantastic stay at Julia and Tarkan’s place. Beautiful apartment, well kitted out and the shared rooftop terrace was the icing on the cake, especially as the Galata Tower was closed. Location is fantastic in a great neighbourhood with amazing restaurants. Catered well for our 1 year old daughter who felt right at home. Would highly recommend.

Julia and Tarkan were extremely helpful during our stay. The place itself is cozy and the location is pretty much behind the Galata tower. Julia especially was very kind and nice and had great communication skills . We would definitely stay again

Julia and Tarkan couldn’t have been more helpful - from booking, to transfers and even tips throughout our stay. They were extremely friendly and responsive. The place and location is magnificent. It’s hard not to spend every evening watching sunset from that roof terrace - we would feel very smug waving at the crowds of tourists who had queued all afternoon to be crammed onto the Galata tower, when our view was equally as beautiful. Would go back and stay here in a heartbeat.

Great location, nice place, responsive hosts. Will stay here again!

Beautiful old world setting in a highly desirable area.

Beautiful apartment in a wonderful location. Extremely well appointed and the manager was so helpful as well. Lots of great cafes and restaurants. The roof top was amazing to take photographs and see a panoramic view of Istanbul. Would highly recommend this apartment to any travellers. Thank you for sharing your apartment, also your cafe and restaurant recommendations were perfect! Fiona and Wilson. 😊

Great location. Very professional hosts with excellent communication. Very good spot to stay in Istanbul.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. This was our first visit to Istanbul and we are glad that we spent some time in the Beyoglu District after spending our first three nights in the Sultanhamet District. For first time visitors we recommend that do the same. The property near Galata Tower is clean, spacious and safe. The check in process and communication with management was flawless, but the property can be hard to find. The view from the balcony is exceptional, but the climb to get to the balcony felt a bit dangerous as did being on the balcony. We only went up once and we didn't carry and food or drink with us because it is several flights up with the last flight up to the rooftop being a little precarious. I would not have wanted to carry a tray up or down those stairs. Once you get to know Istanbul, the public transportation, and the different neighborhoods, it's easy to get around to different places from the apartment. I don't think this is a good choice for first time visitors to Istanbul, but better for those who have some familiarity with the city. That said, it is a very nice place with a large kitchen, dining area, large bedrooms and bath rooms, and a local manager who is pleasant and eager to help.

We spent few days in the apartment, which we loved. It is cozy and clean. Very close to Galata Tower. The neighborhood is amazing and busy in a good way. The host was very nice and friendly and gave us a lot of advices.

Amazing flat right next to Galata Tower! From airport pick-up (highly recommend) to cleanliness to communication, everything was amazing. Would definitely stay again!

Very good experience. The apartment was clean and organized. Check-In and Check-out worked perfectly.

Wonderful stay, location location location, this was a great one. Everything you would need and more. I will be staying here again, and telling my friends that are staying over in Istanbul.

Everything was wonderful! A beautiful apartment and great location! Galata Tower, tram, subway, restaurants, supermarkets - everything is nearby. It's a warm and clean apartment with a terrace with a beautiful view.

The property was seconds away from Galata Tower, restaurants, cafes, shops. The property manager was there to meet us when we arrived, and replenished items when needed. Everything was very smooth from booking, arrival, during our stay, and check out. Plenty of space for a family of four with 2 large teenage boys. Centrally located to all the major sights. Access to the rooftop is a HUGE bonus! You can truly appreciate the magnificence of the city and the Galata Tower lit up, with the Bosphorous river and the ferry boats and cruise ships in the backgroung. Definitely recommend this apartment and will stay here in the future.

All communication prior to check in was timely and helpful. The apartment is very nice during our week stay. Attractive, clean, very comfortable - It was perfect for two adults that wanted to enjoy the space of two separate bedrooms and bathrooms while traveling. There are a few things I wish I'd known beforehand, however: The noise level at night is not good for anyone that likes a quiet setting. We were woken up every night between 1-2am by the apartment directly above us, by what sounded like elephants. The street and restaurant noise is extensive. This is not the apartment for those that want sleep to start before 1-2am. Perfect for night owls. The common areas are neglected in the building. The photos a rooftop patio are much nicer than current. It's simply wooden picnic tables on a roof and not as pretty or comfortable as expected. The "balcony" in the apartment is just an airspace between the two bedrooms, with a metal floor, overlooking the rooftop exhaust systems of the restaurants and shops one floor below. Not a space that was enjoyable to use as a patio. It is not a patio overlooking the street or courtyard. The dryer had been removed with no information shared with us prior to check in or at check in. While air drying clothes is not a hardship, it would have been nice to know before. The satellite tv never connected for the week we were in the apartment. Not an impact for us but notable. A map of grocers & bakers should be added in the binder.

Location is super, as well as condition of apartment and communication with the owner

Excellent apartment. We're very satisfied.

The owner lined up airport transportation and was there to meet us as we were dropped off at 10:45 PM by the driver . He showed us the apartment, provided keys and an overview of the area, and everything was perfect and as advertised. The location allowed us to live like locals for our six nights in Istanbul. The driver also picked us up at 5 AM on departure day to get us to the airport in time for our 9 AM flight.

This wonderful flat was exactly as pictured; comfortable and centrally located. A perfect home base for enjoying Istanbul, steps away from Galata Tower and a scenic walk or quick tram ride to the Spice Bazaar, Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. Vibrant neighborhood with plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes. Our family of four (2 parents and 2 adult children) found the flat warm and comfortable, plus we received excellent support from the onsite manager. Definitely recommend this property for a visit to amazing Istanbul!

Beautiful apartment in a great location with incredible rooftop views. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Amazing flat and location. Will recommend to anyone

A hidden gem in a delightful vibrant area. The apartment is stunning and everything is thought of. Can’t praise it enough.

easy and friendly check-in. good communication. nice and clean apartment in great location.

This was a “girls trip” to Istanbul. We are longtime friends in our late 50s. The property is in a great location, close to shops, restaurants and nightlife. The apartment is dated, but clean. Everything worked well. There is a tv but we never watched it. We didn’t cook either but we did use the washer/dryer, which was huge. The building itself is old and the vestibule isn’t clean, which gave it a 4-star rating. There are no cars allowed on the street so we had to walk a few blocks to get a cab. It’s an easy walk to Sultanhamet across the bridge, but there is a huge hill and lots of steps to climb to get back to the apartment, brutal after a long day! Get the very helpful staff to assist you with orientation to the unit and to show you where to catch a cab. They were extremely responsive and helpful! I would also suggest you use them to arrange your transfer to the unit as it can be hard to find the first time. The front bedroom is a bit noisy since it’s on the street. We were kept up all night one night by a neighbor who was doing construction on his apartment and was running a drill and a jackhammer all night!! Overall, I would recommend this unit. I wouldn’t go to a higher floor simply because there is no elevator in the building.

It was a very smooth and welcoming experience to check into the apartment. The place was spacious and comfortable. The location is awesome!

This apartment is a hidden gem, a delightful apartment that is both comfortable and very clean - great location next to Galata Tower, and an easy walk to the Metro (downhill) which allowed us to explore Istanbul on both sides. The team were highly efficient, the organisation of transport to and from the airport couldn't be faulted, the care given by the Istanbul team in terms of advice, facilities and availability was great - including follow up calls and emails to make sure we were happy with everything and the provision of a Metro card with an explanation of how to use it saved us lots of time and effort. Really appreciate the tea and coffee that was available when we arrived and the recommendations for restaurants were spot on. Will definitely revisit.

We totally LOVED this rental. What a great spot and an amazing location. We couldn't have chosen a better apartment for our family of 5. Centrally located, easy to get around. Super comfortable, very safe! And the team helped us with so many things- from booking a tour guide, to checking in, to helping us book a hamman, etc. They were awesome. 5 stars all around!

Incredible apartment, awesome location, super friendly hosts, all round amazing!

Wonderful apartment. Cozy. Front bedroom a little loud but back bedroom was great!

The property was in an excellent location for public transportation, restaurants, and sight seeing. We stayed for almost 3 weeks and absolutely enjoyed the apartment. Tarkan and his team were available and communicated promptly. We would stay at this location again.

The property had all the amenities. The neighborhood was nice and lively, without being loud. Taxi drivers were not always willing to come here though and would charge extra. 5 stars to the property manager for being very responsive and helpful!
