Julie’s place is really well located if you’re looking to stay close to Taksim. You’re far enough to avoid all the noise but close enough to reach it quickly. Julie’s son Khan helped us to check in and gave some good recommendations of where to go. The place itself is really cute and cosy and there’s a grocery opposite which is very handy! Shame we couldn’t use the balcony because of the poor weather but looks great. P.s get an arranged driver from the airport to the apartment..you will save yourself a lot of hassle!
