Helga's place was the ideal place for us to stay in Istanbul with 2 kids. The house is very well decorated; chic and basic. She is a great host with great communication throughout the days we stayed. The flat was super clean and had all the things you might need including even toys and books for the kids. It is on a quiet street away from noise but just 10 minutes walk away from Bagdat Avenue, public transportation. Definitely will check for future visits.
