Ilke's place is a gem! Look no further! It's a beautiful comfy apartment located in a historical building on a picturesque street steps from İstiklal Caddesi. It does feel like home rather than your typical Airbnb place. The building is clean, well-maintained, safe, and has an elevator. If you need to grab something to eat, there are great cafes & restaurants (including downstairs) and a grocery store nearby. Above all, Ilke is an exceptional host. I can't thank her enough for all the hospitality and tips she gave us! Our communication was super fluid from the beginning, and she immediately responded to all my questions. We enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave :) Thank you so much, Ilke! You're awesome!
