I chose Julie’s apartment because it is in the same area where I lived as a student some years ago & could not have made a better choice. Especially as we had heavy snow in the first days, it was great to be that centrally located in Taksim and the apartment was very cozy. Unfortunately, we could only enjoy the lovely terrace in the last 3 days bc of the weather. Maybe next time we re more lucky. Communication with Julie & her team in Istanbul was very supportive & welcoming!
