This apt is so gorgeous, I was in love with it. Alexis' parents met us at midnight because our flight arrived so late, and they were incredibly sweet and showed us around with limited English. They also showed us how to lock the front door and gate which is like a 5 minute long affair, but you'll be well under lock and key and feel safe there! The place is immaculately clean, has a nice air conditioner, kitchen, washer, and amazing bathroom that I want as my future bathroom. :) The apt is in the crazy Taksim neighborhood, but far away enough from the loud streets to sleep soundly. The neighborhood is super charming with cats lolling around, cute little shops and bars, restaurants, and I even thought, hmmm, could I live here? I would absolutely stay here again, it was a great experience.
