Elif was a great host. Her English is good and she was quite responsive before and during our stay. The photos describe the apartment perfectly, it was very clean and orderly. As a couple, we had plenty of space and the kitchen had everything we needed. The shower was also quite good.

It's in a nice neighborhood, but also still near the sites of Istanbul, only a few tram stops away (we recommend the bakery, cafeteria, pickle and kabob shops nearby). Only caution is that it's on the 5th floor with steep stairs and going any where requires going up or down some big hills, if that is okay with you, you are rewarded with a great view of Galeta tower and the mosques. I would not hesitate in booking with Elif.
