P-e-r-f-e-c-t !
Elif is the definition of a guest and the secret garden the definition of a guest house !

Located less than 20min from Taksim by bus (depends on famous Istanbul trafic of course), Elif's appartment is exactly as per description.
Nice, clean, huge and functional with all you could expect from your house.
Because that's the main point, in this appartment you feel like home !!

There is a big terrace and a garden below (too bad for us the weather didn't allow us to enjoy them).

On top of that Elif propose a breakfast and dinner service.
We stayed 3 days and used it the whole 3 days. It is incredible Turkish/medditerranean food !!! One of the best I had in my life (no kidding!).

As a finish, Elif and her family were wonderfully nice. Always smiling and ready to help, we really felt this wasn't commercial but deep from their heart.

We stayed with our 6month baby girl and we enjoyed this stay so much that we are already thinking to come back to Istanbul. And there's no other place than Elif's appartment where we want to stay !
