Elif's place is very stylish and sparkling clean. It's nearer to most of the must see places to visit in Istanbul. Elif's being a wonderful host gave us good local tips and named a few restaurants where we can try some good local food. We had our flights in the evening but he was kind enough to tell us that we can keep our baggage in the office. The breakfast that we get in elif's place is one of the best you can get and the view from the terrace is just mesmerizing.
