This was a fantastic flat (very cozy and cute) in a hip/safe neighborhood. Pelin met us nearby and helped guide us in; she give us a super-helpful tour of the neighborhood and pointed out the supermarket, some good restaurants, and even where we could buy public transit cards. The flat was in an ideal location: it was easy to get from the flat to Taksim square and also a quick walk to the tram to get to all the sights.
