      Enjoyable stay

      Left on 05/19/2013 for a stay in May 2013

      Galata apartment is very good located. It is exactly between Sultanahmet and Taksim square. So you can easily reach old sity at the one side, and Istiklal street with its bohemian spirit at the other. The area around Galata tower is charming and cozy. Appartment is situated in historical building of 19 century. Hayri (the owner) is very helpful and kindly person. Thank you, Hayri! Our stay in Istunbul was enjoyable. We will be happy to come back.

      In the beating heart of the town

      Left on 10/18/2012 for a stay in October 2012

      The location is incredible, it's in front of Galata Tower, a couple of minutes far from Istiklal Caddesi and just across Galata bridge. The owners are really kind and helpful. The district is very lively and exuberant, which is why you may need earplugs to sleep at night. The only drawback may be the bathroom which, apart from being a bit tiny, should be renovated. Anyway, nothing to be scared of! A wonderful stay in an amazing town.

      Galata apartment

      Left on 08/29/2012 for a stay in August 2012

      Even the apt. Is simply furnished and rather small, the location is excellent.
      The neighborough is lively and nice, but the apt. Is in a quiet street.
      The only negative thing is the bathroom Tiny and not really confortable.
      The owners are very helpfull and friendly

      what an introdyction to Turkey - location,location,location!

      Left on 04/03/2012 for a stay in March 2012

      This was my first visit to Turkey - i had a 5 day working break in London and I have always wanted to go - the choice of where to stay. This flat is lovely - in the heart of the old city Galata. The famous Tower is 2 mins away. Kitchen ,comfortable bed and the sofa bed was fine as well. The apartment overlooks a lane with bars, restaurants - you feel in the heart of a new culture. The apartment is beautifully heated, full of character and I can hardly wait to go back. Zumrut and Hayri are bubbly hosts - respectful of your space but always on hand to answer and advise. Our pane was late - Hayri was there - he took us to a great lane way bar for our first night. Will return - nice people and Turkey is wonderful
