Elif's place is located on a quiet residential street just a few blocks from Istiklal Street and Taksim Square. If you have light luggage, it is possible to walk to the apartment from the airport HAVA bus and from the Taksim Square metro stop.
The apartment is renovated and has a modern bathroom and kitchen. There is good WiFi, a washer/dryer and two air conditioning units. There is no microwave, TV or outdoor furniture for the patio space. The cleaning job wasn't perfect, but that's an easy fix. Overall, a good apartment in a nice neighborhood.
