Pelin's apartment is very nice an comfortable in an excellent area of Istanbul. The livingroom/diningroom is large and airy with a comfortable couch with a large flat panel TV. The bedroom has a comfortable bed. Windows in the front and back of the apt. allow a cooling breeze through the entire place. The kitchen is small with a hot plate and not to much counter space but it has a full size fridge. It was fine for us, a couple who only wanted to make breakfast, but would be difficult for a full meal for more people.
We had to delay our visit a day but Pelin was understanding and arranged too meet us the following day for the key.
One of the pluses of the neighborhood is the great restaurants and one of the best is right out the door, the Heirloom Cafe run by a wonderful couple with traditional Turkish food. We also found a new place Gokkusagi, with take out run by a mother and daughter two blocks down the street at Turkgucu Cd. 43, which was convenient when coming home nights to pick up dinner to eat at the apartment.
We think for a couple Pelin's apartment is an excellent choice.
