Elmas has a lovely apartment in a perfect location for exploring Istanbul. Her place is near the metro and tram, and within an easy walking distance to Taksim square. The neighborhood itself is so lovely and charming, we often found ourselves just taking the day to explore around us. The apartment is well stocked and comfortable. The bathroom is a bit small, but that is expected with a historic apartment like this. My husband, daughter, and I stayed for three weeks and felt so comfortable and at home. In addition, Elmas is such a lovely and hospitable host. Whenever we had a question or problem (like forgetting the keys inside 😅), she was there right away to help us!
