Stayed for 10 nights so well acquainted with the premises and locality.
First off, we didn't arrive until the early hours of the morning, to my amazement Mr Sezai was awaiting us. Not only did he greet us but he gave us a full on guided tour of the property and had laid on drinks for us all too. Being born and bred in Istanbul he gave us local advice and offered advice further afield. He made us all aware he was on call to us for the duration of our stay. Amazing hospitality.
The apartment is superb. Fully furnished and equipped with everything in perfect working order. We particularly enjoyed making full use of the facilities within Elysium Residence. I'd start my day of using the gym whilst my father and kids made full use of the pool. We also used both the sauna and steam room during our stay.
Location wise this place is great. 10 minutes walk from Taksim Square and metro. The bus that brought us from the airport stops 5 minutes from the apartment. Loads of shops, "supermarkets" and places to eat all within walking distance.
I recommend this apartment to everyone and when i return to Istanbul will definitely will return here!
