Me and my boyfriend spend 9 days at Pelin's place. We had an absolutely amazing time, partly due to how much we loved Istanbul and partly due to how nice, cosy and well- located the apartement was.
The apartment was was clean, kitchen well-equipped with cooking utensils, there's an good-sized living room with sofas and a flat screen TV and air conditioning.
The area is full of lovely cafes and bars. There are supermarkets nearby and it's a 10 minute walk to Taksim Square and Galata Tower. There's also a tram stop nearby which takes you to the Old Town.
Pelin was a fantastic host. She contacted us before our arrival with directions to get to her flat from the airport and waited for us at an agreed meeting point. She was always avaiable during our stay when we had questions or needed advice. Thanks again Pelin, we had a great time!
