Elif's place is located in the Golden Horn district close to 3 important Istanbul landmarks, and an easy bus/tram/boat ride to others. It is a really nice place with comfortable beds and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the wide range of foods offered for breakfast, while sitting on the shady rooftop terrace overlooking the Bosphorous. Elif and her staff were lovely and helped us with our enquiries. We felt safe and welcome; I would not stay anywhere else.
