I came with my friend to visit Istanbul. I searched for one month in Airbnb for apartment and I search for something special. I save more than 5 apartments in different areas that looks good but when I arrive to see these apartments it was terrible, the picture didn't match the reality. Until I saw Elif apartment. It's really AMAZING place, piece of heaven exactly like the pictures and even more beautiful! Elif and her mother was more than family and the most important we feel AT HOME. The only thing that you should know is the location of the area. It's a little bit far from the center areas like Sultanahmed and Taksim ,but you can be there by public transportation easy in 25-30 minutes. I will come again to Elif's apartment and also recommend you to do.
