We stayed in the apartment for 2 weeks. Everything was great: price, location, state of the apartment and wonderful host. Nelly met us near the entrance and explained all accomodation details. She is very friendly and helpful. She promptly helped us with any request. The apartment is located in the Beyoglu region, quite close both to the Taksim Square and Galata Tower (15-20 min). There are many shops and markets within walking distance: Şok Market, Carrefour, patiserries, İstiklal shops etc. Thanks a lot to Nelly for a pleasant staying in Istanbul!
