Located in a historic building, this flat has been painstakingly renovated to maintain as much of the original details as possible. The stripped-down floors, exposed brickwork and fresco ceilings fill the space with old world charm. While the living room, dining room, hall and spacious, fully equipped kitchen all flow together, giving the space a modern, loft-like feel.

The bathroom includes a large glass shower stall and many original design features. One of the two bedrooms features a king-size bed, and the other a queen-size. Both are equally comfortable, thanks to the high-end memory foam mattresses.

Testimonials

  • Great part of Istanbul, a few blocks from the Galata Tower. Energetic part of town with many hip cafes, restaurants. The flat was a large two bedroom with high ceilings, lovely old frescoes in the bedrooms. We are a family of 4 and it was very comfortable for all of us.

    All the modern conveniences (dishwasher, washing machine, lovely full bathroom and a convenient 1/2 bath). The location and attention to travelers needs in the accomadations made our stay terrific. Would definitely recommend (and return!).

  • I Stayed in Galata Fresco for 7 nights with my husband and mother. The apartment is amazing, clean modern and very comfortable. It is 2 mins from galata tower and Istikal Caddessi, however it was very quiet of an evening and the beds were very comfortable. Easy access to shops, restaurants and public transport. The location is perfect.

    We stayed in the cooler weather and the heating was amazing. I could not recommend highly enough this apartment and the service offered by the owners. The only thing to mention would be English TV access was limited to CNN. We bought a cheap HDMI cable from a shop in the metro underpass (nearby) and watched movies and TV from our laptop. Internet connection was excellent.

    Head to the George hotel (unmarked so you will have to ask) just opposite for an amazing view from the rooftop.

Van Kahvaltı Evi

Another favorite among locals and with good reason. Their breakfast is exceptional and luckily served day and night. Be sure to check out the breakfast plate: local cheeses, rich kaymak (Turkish clotted cream), tangy cacık (thick yogurt spread) and wheat-flour porridge. And the tea keeps flowing- free of charge.
