Our party of 3 friends enjoyed a lot the apartment of Jelena. It is perfectly located at 3 minutes walking distance from Taksim square and Istiklan caddesi, the main commercial street of Istanbul and everything in Beyoglu area is walking distance. You can take a taxi to go to the old town, taxi are so cheap if you are used with euro. Even from new airport to the apartment the taxi cost 140 turkish lira more or less (23 euro about).
The apartment is located at the third floor of a lovely street, full of small shops where you can buy all you need until very late. There is no elevator but if you don't have any motor problems it's easy to manage even with a luggage (stairs are not that high). The apartment is very big and everything inside (washing machines, air conditioning and other stuff work properly). It is composed by 3 bedrooms each with its double bed and a wide bathroom with a perfectly working shower. You can find everything inside, from towels to extra pillows, dishes pots and pans and extra blankets. Beds were comfortable. One bedroom has airconditioning, the others a fan but we didn't suffer for the heat because the apartment is well aired with the windows open. Anyway i can say we loved the apartment and it perfectly matches our needs and allows us to enjoy Istanbul at the best. Thanks Jelena for all your effort. We will see you again.
