if you are travelling to Istanbul, you should not consider any other place than Pelin's apartment. you will live the local turkish people life. very good central location in the asian part of Istanbul, with different means of transportations, and close to Bagdat street, the very vivid street, and close to Bostanci & Kadakoy Ferry terminals.
The apartment is nice, clean, and contains all what you really need. Real good value of money. I loved the apartment. Pelin is a wonderful girl, and really very helpful. it was really nice meeting her and chatting with her.
