aslan!place apartment

spacious and sunny, right next to galata tower

aslan!place is on the third floor of a grand 19th century building -with lion motifs- right next to the beautiful Galata Tower: from some windows you feel you can touch the tower. The living room overlooks the lively pedestrianised square below, while the kitchen and one bedroom have glimpses across the Golden Horn. Sishane metro station is less than 2 minutes walk away.

The bedrooms are stylish: two doubles (one is very big with lots of space for an additional folding bed) and one twin. There is a good sized, well-equipped kitchen with separate dining area and a comfortable living room with sofa and bar table overlooking the tower. The shower room has a loo and there's a second separate loo along the spacious hallway.

aslan!place is big at 120 m2 in total and is bright and welcoming with lovely high ceilings throughout. The exposed floorboards are all original and the bare-wood panelled doors have been retained. The living room has it's original ornate white plaster ceiling and the overall feel is of space and elegance. The bedrooms comfortably accommodate six or seven people.

Great apartment, great location!

"We enjoyed 5 days in Istanbul with the family and found this the perfect place to explore the city whilst seeing a little more of how the locals live too. The location meant that it was always easy to find our way home, as the Galata Tower was our landmark next door, and allowed us to use the local shops and restaurants as we wished, without making expeditions far away after a long day sightseeing.

The apartment itself was light, airy and elegantly presented, without being scary to bring kids in, with interesting views and a really relaxing feel to it. Well-equipped, we ate breakfast in every day and had some comfortable early evening snacks before venturing out with recharged batteries. Yes; there are 3 flights of stairs, but that balanced the baklava nicely! We plan to return."
