Designer Loft in Asmalimescit

This is the ultimate rental address surrounded by the best Istanbul has to offer, from historical sights to great shopping opportunities and fabulous restaurants with very tasty Turkish and international cuisine. The Galata Tower is only 100 meters away and the very popular pedestrian street Istiklal Avenue 20 meters away. Facilities: The studio apartment is about 85 sqm large, has 1 double bed (sheets and towels will be provided), 1 very comfortable sofa that can sleep 1, 1 fully equipped kitchen, 1 bathroom with a shower, a second bathroom, a roof terrace, and of course the apartment has full internet access. The apartment has an incredible view of Istanbul since it is on the top floor, the only downside is that there is no elevator, so you have to walk 5 floors (102 steps in total). The apartment is very bright and has been renovated recently. Being very authentic it offers you all the comfort of a real home. All parts of the city are reachable very easily. History enthusiasts will love the historic neighborhood. For further information please feel free to contact me, I would be very happy to help you out!
