A much-loved, stylish apartment on the 2nd floor of a grand 19th century building near Galata Tower. Cosy and atmospheric with exceptional interior design.
Sash windows overlook the characterful streets below - you'll feel you're experiencing authenticity across time.
Excellent stay. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and just as described in the listing. The location is very good and makes it easy to get around the area. The host was very friendly and helpful at all times, responding quickly and giving good recommendations. We would definitely stay again and recommend it 100%.
Lovely property with helpful and charming hosts! Great location with lots to explore and easy access to other places! Love the music stores in the street and the used booksellers down stairs!
We loved the apartment! It is a perfect location with easy access to everything. The apartment is tucked away in a quiet spot but in the middle of a vibrant neighborhood. Great breakfast places were literally just steps away. We appreciated the re-loadable Istanbul transportation cards which were very helpful for getting around the city. We were very happy with our stay. Istanbul is amazing!!
The terrace is a cool bonus, we have watched sunsets from there.
We loved staying at Julia's place. It was exactly as described, very clean, spacious, comfortable beds and pillows, the terrace is a cool bonus, we have watched sunsets from there. Location is super close to Galata, lovely cafes around. And communications with Julia was perfect, always fast and very helpful.
An amazing spot in an ideal location. Greats hosts and would definitely choose this place again! We had a wonderful time in Istanbul. It's a beautiful place with lots to do. Loved the space and location!
The apartment was large, clean, and well decorated. The location was prime - close to major attractions, great restaurants, and shopping. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and communicative. My family and I enjoyed our stay.
We loved this family accommodation at Christmas time. First of all, the decor is really very beautiful, in an old building with murals whose renovation has kept all the charm. The mixture with the brick walls of the entrance gives a very warm set. Very well thought-out lighting, down to the industrial sockets and neon lights that give it a New York feel. In addition, the area is excellent for 4. Finally the neighborhood is very interesting, very lively with lots of bars and restaurants, and despite everything close to everything. You will access old Istanbul via the tram downstairs. In short, excellent location and very tasteful apartment, with all the guides on site. It was a big plus in the living room.
We had a wonderful stay at Juliaâs house. The apartment is gorgeous and well renovated to capture its original charm. Galata is a great area to stay in. Juliaâs Apartment is one street from the busy-ness in a peaceful interesting street right above a fantastic Book and Record Store. Everything was perfect for a fun and fascinating stay in Istanbul. Thank you Julia and Tarkan!
Exactly what we wanted for 3 nights, having spacious rooms and lounge for family of 4 adults. Decor was great. Restaurant recommendations by email were terrific. I even asked for a haircut recommendation!! Great neighbourhood and enjoyed the great breakfast at Cafe Tivoli !!
Perfect Location. Great comfortable apartment. We walked to Topkapi palace in Sultanahmet in 45 minutes, keeping in mind there is lots to look at on the way. Lots of cafes, stores and restaurants on your doorstep. I highly recommend.
The apartment was clean and wonderful for our weekend stay!
Julia provided recommendations prior to our arrival and was flexible with our late check-in. The apartment was clean and wonderful for our weekend stay! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to stay in the Galata area of the city
Terrace with beautiful view, really close to restaurants, metro, Galata tower.
Really amazing apartment- just like the photos, terrace with beautiful view, really close to restaurants, metro, Galata tower. We had amazing stay there, and if we come back, definitely will stay there again :) thanks to the host for everything :)
We found this apartment to be perfect for us when visiting our son in Istanbul. Located close to the Galata Tower it made everywhere easily accessible. And with both the metro and funicular also close by, when youâve walked around hilly and hot Istanbul all day, itâs nice to make it easy to get home!!! The spade is perfect for 2 to 4 people, and a really nice vibe to the area.
The unit, the neighbor, the proximity to the high street, the tram, are all ideal for a trip to Istanbul. There is market around the corner, and shops for all needs of a long stay. The hosts are proactive with communication and helpful with suggestions.
The house is located in a quiet ally next to Galata tower, owner is friendly and quickly responds. We cannot find the car while we check out, we ask owner for help and she immediately contact the taxi service.
