Julie and her apartments are amazing! She was there to welcome us when we arrived and provided us with a map and a booklet of places to go. The apartment is exactly what you see in the photos. The location was perfect, only a few blocks away from Istiklal and the Beyoglu district but far enough to where its not too loud. Theres alot of great food nearby and markets if you want to cook. We wanted to really feel like we were living in Istanbul for the few days we were there and Julie helped us achieve that, thanks Julie!
