Its been a pleasure staying at Alexis' place. The flat was perfectly clean and cozy. Its perfectly situated in Taksim - walking distance to all the hotspots in and around Beyoğlu. But since it is located in a quiet street, you can even sleep with the windows opened. Alexi and his family were very friendly, and helped us with all our questions. The flat is well equipped, everything we needed was there - even a dishwasher and a WiFi-connection were available. Five stars! Definitely going back there for our next trip to Istanbul!
