Great tranquil apartment in the middle of all the antique shops. (was pleasantly surprised upon my arrival) within 5-7 min walk to İstiklal Caddesi. For travellers trying to avoid İstiklal, the neighboring Siraselviler Cd. and surrounding area is a nice neighborhood all by itself and has everything that you need. The apartment was cozy, with all the amenities that a traveller needs. Başak was away during my stay, however she was in communication and gave detailed instructions to help me to reach the apartment; also was always ava. for questions during my stay. Thumbs up for this amazing host!!!!!
