Pelin picked us up at Taksim square and took us to the apartment, which made us feel welcome immediately. The apartment is perfectly located in the heart of the hip, up and coming Beyoglu neighborhood with plenty of cute little restaurants and cafes around (and a surprising amount of hospitals, which luckily we didn't need).
The apartment is very cozy and nicely decorated and Pelin made sure we were warm despite the snow storms raging outside by providing space heaters and extra blankets.
We highly recommend the place and thank Pelin for her kindness, hospitality and flexibility!
