Julie's place is a very nice apartment with everything you need!
Climbing the 4 floors with high ceilings takes some time but you are rewarded with a nice view over the neighborhood.
Next to the house there are two small shops that seem to be open 24/7 and a SOK supermarket with a wider selection of goods. On Sundays, there is a local market right in the next road! A bus stop and traffic lights over the main street are close by and allow easy access to Istanbul's sights.
Helen, the manager of the building, was very friendly and always responsive to our questions.
Thanks a lot for the nice time in Istanbul!
