I'm so glad I stayed at Phylicia's place. It's a beautiful property with plenty of space, a very safe and charming neighborhood, and most notably - her place has a majestic view of the Bosphorus from her balcony! :)
I would definitely stay here again and can't recommend this place enough. The amenities were great, I felt very safe in the building and neighborhood, and it was very quiet as well. I hope to make it back to Istanbul very soon!
