Elif was the perfect host for our visit to Istanbul. The accomodation is immaculate and perfect to relax after a day of exploring istanbul. Elif was always on hand to help with anything and provided us with a home cooked dinner one night which was the best meal we had. The apartment is in a nice area where evertthing is accessible. Taxi costs around 30 TL to get to taksim and around 40TL to sultanahmet. All in all I would thoroughly recommend Secret Garden.
