Secret Garden - was indeed a 'Secret Garden' north of Down Town Istanbul. A perfect place for sitting in the morning and at night time on the terrasse and getting a feeling of Istanbul besides all the sightseeings - looking into a green garden. Elif was a very patient and always responding host. Thank you very much!!!! The apartment was very clean and there is just everything you need. Also nice for small families or a group of four people. To get to down town was always an adventure through the istanbul-well-known-traffic - if you dont like buses just take a taxi - it works great especially at night time after going out (between 10-12 Euro). There is everything around, small shopping places, small imbiss for eating, small restaurant, busstation...Just a nice place for a mix out of relaxed vacation and sightseeing. Many Greetings from Paul and Heike
