This apartment is worth every dollar paid for our stay.
Julia’s place is in a very convenient location, just meters from the Galata Tower. Check in was hassle free and they provide not just the support but also all the details. This apartment is worth every dollar paid for our stay.

Wow!
Wow! was the first thought when entering the apartment. We found the special amenities to be very stylish and suitable for our place to stay Istanbul. We immediately felt at home and comfortable. You can walk from the apartment many restaurants, shopping, attractions. It is very centrally located. We enjoyed it very much in Istanbul and the beautiful apartment even a little more....

The hosts were beyond amazing!
Really fantastic location, right in the heart of everything but off on a quiet street for good sleeping conditions. The hosts were beyond amazing— really friendly, thought of small things that really helped (metro card available for use), arranged transport, and gave great recommendations. Looking forward to returning to stay here again some day!

A lovely apartment in a very central yet quiet location
A lovely apartment in a very central yet quiet location and that with a proactive, thoughtful host: this is an apartment that I can easily recommend. It was my first time in Istanbul and thought it was a great base to view the city. The host was proactive with helping with the transfer from the airport and and had good recommendations for things we could check out nearby. Highly recommended!
