Really really enjoyed our stay at Secil's. Her apartment is located very close to Taksim Square and the Tram station so was very easy to get up early and explore the city. Neighbourhood is quiet and the residents who we met were very friendly. Couldn't recommend more Secil is a great host and really helped us as we were travelling during the closure of Ataturk Airport and therefore had to use the new one. Cecil gave us lots of information and is very quick to respond/help with anything you need. Thank you!!
