Elif is a wonderful host, quick to respond and very helpful. She brought us an extra crib mattress for our daughter upon request and let us check out late. The apartment is clean and recently renovated. The only issue is that because it's close to Taksim, there is a lot of noise coming from the clubs until 3-4 am some nights. But that is part of the allure of the location I guess. All in all, I would highly recommend staying here.
