First and Foremost, just to meet a sweetheart like Ela is worth staying here....She is beautiful inside and out. She was there when I arrived with my heavy luggage and offered to help me upstairs with them. She is tiny but tough and always willing to lend a hand. She is super hospitable. Offered me a drink/tea/coffee as soon as I walked in. Every-time she prepared a meal for herself she asked if I was hungry and wanted to eat something. I know this was not part of the package but she offered it anyway which is telling on how generous and kind and sweet she is. Her place is in a very central location. You can go to the right and down the road to a lovely local street in the Besiktas area with plenty of everything and anything you may with great prices. You can go to the left and end up in the heart of the fancy part of Nisantasi, within minutes.... Taxis pass by there often if you wait a few minutes so easy to take a taxi if you need one. The home itself is done beautifully and tastefully by Ela. She is a soft spoken, polite, absolutely LOVELY and always wears a sweet smile on her face. Very warm and welcoming. She helped me with getting a taxi upon my departure and carried my bags out. The one thing I loved about her is that today was the only day i did not ask for a cup of coffee as I was packing to leave and here she comes with a hot cup of coffee and said "your last coffee"!! with a smile. :))
I already miss her!! :)) Thank you for Everything Ela.
