Our stay in Istanbul was a very good experience thanks to the beautiful studio and the welcoming family of Elif at Secret Garden. We came in to early but Elif and her mom were so kind to offer us some tea and made us feel relaxed. We went into town for two hours till the room was ready and the lovely son was so good to go with us to the bus station and explained us everything how to take the busses to the different places, he was so kind.
