My friends and I spent a week in this beautiful apartment, located in the very centre of Istanbul (close to Taksim Square). There are many cute coffee shops / bars / resto’s nearby (kavhe6 for breakfast, Rika for drinks and Afil streetfood for delicious meals). Elif is a thoughtful and responsive host. We were welcomed by homemade cake, which we appreciated a lot. This area (as many in Istanbul) can be very steep. Therefore, be prepared for a solid morning walk on your way to breakfast. Please also note that this area can be very noisy at night. There are rooftop bars in the surroundings and the music can be disturbing until the early morning. My friends and I had to buy earplugs to cancel the noise and to be able to sleep. Thank you again Elif for making our Istanbul experience complete 🌸
