The host (Elif) was kind and always available to help. The apartment is located definitely in an excellent area, in a safe neighborhood, close to a metro station, and many shops and restaurants. It was needed to walk only for 3 min to be in the middle of the Taksim square, a wonderful place just next to the Istiklal street. The safety/lock boxes made me happy for a quick and practical check-in. The apartment was very clean, and equipped with comfortable beds and a strong AC. We had almost everything in the flat, we needed during our stay (washing machine, dishwasher, microwave oven, etc). I highly recommend Elif’s flat for a family trip up to 6 with kids. we had absolutely nothing to complain about.
