Description of location -
· The apartment is by the Genoese Galata Tower, north of the Golden Horn, in an area of Istanbul that in the past was reserved to Western Europeans. Currently this is a very fashionable area favored by locals. There are many shops and coffeeshops and restaurants on nearby Istiklal Caddesi. Almost all buildings in the area are at least 100 years old. We recommend this location to those who would rather avoid a carpet salesman pitch every minute and prefer to get a taste of the real local life.
Transportation -
· The apartment can be reached by taxi. It is also located a 2 minute walk away from the upper Tunel station. The Tunel is a 100 year old underground funicular which is a tourist sight in itself and takes you down to Karakoy tramway station --by the bridge on the Golden Horn. From here you can walk across the bridge to the Spice Bazaar, or take the tramway to the Sultanahmet area, to the Grand Bazaar, to the airport (transfer to metro at Zeytinburnu), or to Kabatas to visit Dolmabahce palace.
By the upper Tunel station by the apartment there is also the 'nostaljic' tramway which takes you to Taksim square.
About the management -
· We are a small family company. Lauren is from Dallas, TX and Fernando is from Barcelona, Spain. We currently run 16 holiday apartments in Barcelona and 2 furnished homes in Dallas. We apply our same high standards in every country. We love Istanbul and we hope you will also love to stay in our first unit in this incredible city. Elif takes care of our Istanbul apartments and she will take care of your stay.
Nearby services -
· There are several supermarkets at a very short distance. A very nice and popular restaurant area is just a walk of less than 5 minutes away.
Noise levels -
· The apartment is in a very quiet location and also has double glazing. There is the nightly call to prayer at 5am and sometimes the night cleaning crew can be a bit noisy -although they do not work on this street every night, maybe once a week.
Extras - Guided tours of the city. Transportation to and from the airport.
