Only you will live in my (new renovated) apartment, which is only about 20 steps from the great Galata Tower.
The apartment has WiFi, TV, Washing-mashine, an equipped kitchen, an equipped bedroom with a double bed and airconditioner, a bathroom (with shower, toilet and bath towels), a living room with a pull-out Ikea sofa that could accommodate a third person, a roof terrace with a 180° view over the Bosphorus to the Old town.

Not far from the apartment (also reachable in a few steps) you will find shops where you can buy food, hygiene items, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The kitchen offers everything you need to prepare food. So make yourself comfortable in the apartment and enjoy your time in this fairytale city.

The apartment has a roof terrace. The terrace is old and not renovated, but the view is breathtaking, especially in the evening. Here you are allowed to smoke, if you like to.

The apartment is located in Beyoglu, encircled by Taksim, Pera, Besiktas and Ortaköy. Fatih and Sultan Ahmet are also within walking distance.

Go out, eat, drink and enjoy yourself!
A few steps away from the apartment, there are food markets (e.g. Migros also offers tofu, analog cheese and much more), greengroceries and groceries. You will also find an authorized alcohol sales point and countless restaurants, cafes and bars.

Within 40 steps of the apartment you will find the "Galip Dede" alley (it has superb places for a big variety of food and small shops for lil' curios), which leads to the famous shopping alley "Istiklal Street" (the walk along is just amazing and never tiring with all the hustle bustle that is going on) or down to the "Galata Bridge". From here you can easily reach the "Orient Express", "Hagia Sophia", "The blue Mosque", the "Hippodrom", "Sultan Ahmed Mosque", the "Topkapi Palace", the Spice- or the Grand Bazar and many others.

The two closest metro stations are within a walking distance of about 5 minutes. You can easily find a taxi anywhere in the region.

In close proximity you will find:

• Food Markets
• Restaurants, Cafes, Bars
• Metro Station
• Taxis come to the door

The "Austrian Hospital" (Avusturya Hastanesi) is only 3 walking minutes away.

Do's and don'ts:

• Smoking is prohibited in the apartment, guests are allowed to smoke on the terrace.

• The terrace must be kept clean (please only dispose of cigarette butts in closed ashtrays or other fire-proof containers - do not throw them on the floor/street)

• Please remember that your neighbors are locals. Therefore I ask you not to disturb the neighbors with excessive noise.

• The neighborhood is modern and safe. Women in particular will feel comfortable here - you will have a hard time finding a safer place in a comparable area.

Enjoy your stay in Galata!
