Ilhan's place is in the most perfect location. Close to the heart of Taksim but far away enough from it to avoid the crowds. It looks just like the space in the photos, very clean, well equipped and has the cutest little balcony where you can have your wine or çay and listen to the sounds of this wondrous ancient city. The morning call for prayer is incredibly beautiful.
But the best part of this space is Ilhan and her family. They were very kind and hospitable. When I locked myself out of the building, even the bakers downstairs were so quick to help me. Ilhan is the best, she responds to my messages very quickly, even at 4:30 AM. She also helped arranged a car service for me to the airport which I really appreciate. Thank you so much Ilhan for everything!
