Description from manager

Description

This two bedroom apartment is on the first floor of a historic building, located on one of the most desirable streets in all of Galata. The original, refinished wood floors, exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and Turkish tiles, give this flat an authentic, old world feel. The spacious sitting area, hallway, dining area, and open plan kitchen, all make it the perfect place to hang out and relax. And the two bedrooms (both with king size beds, with memory foam mattresses) make it the perfect place to call home, while you're in Istanbul anyway.

LOCATION:

This flat is on the first floor of a historic building, located at the quite end of Serdar-I Ekrem Street. It's one of most desirable streets in all of Istanbul, thanks to the abundance of cafés, art galleries, exceptional restaurants, as well as its ideal location. The Galata Tower is just 300 m away. The Sishane Metro Station, just a two minute walk. Asmali Mescit, the main entertainment district, and Istiklal Street are both within a five minute walk, and so too is the tram to Sultanahmet, the old Town. The neighborhood is extremely friendly and welcoming to tourists. Plus, there's a small grocer (Mehmet) just steps from your door, making it quick and easy to stock up on all your basic needs.

“Super Wohnung”

Reviewed 16 Nov 2014

Wir verbrachten fünf schöne Tage in Istanbul in dieser tollen, großen Wohnung, die sogar mit einem kleinen Balkon ausgestattet ist. In der Nähe befinden viele kleine Läden und Restaurants. Verschiedene U-Bahn und Tram Stationen sind in 3 min zu Fuß zu erreichen--super Lage! Die Wohnung haben wir als ruhige Oase in der hektischen Stadt empfunden. Der Abholservice vom Flughafen und der Empfang in der Wohnung sehr freundlich und professionell! Wir würden die Wohnung sofort wieder buchen!
