I and my wife Ilham spent a week in Lisyas' flat at Taksim/Pera, Istanbul. Her flat is located in a very convenient place in the heart of Istanbul. The flat is comparatively spacious, clean and tastefully furnished. It has a gorgous view of the sea from the tv room as well as the bedroom.
One of the nice streets of Istanbul, Istiklal St. is only ten minutes walk from the flat. Taksim is some 15 minutes walk.
Lisya, thankfully directed us how to go there from the airport. We have been to Istanbul previously but this is our first time to stay in a flat. It was a nice experience and we enjoyed the holiday very much. The only weak point of the flat was the tv. However, we could manage without it as the flat had wifi. If I visit Istanbul in future I would be pleased to stay in Lisyas' flat if it was available. I recommend it for any visitors to Istanbul.
