We stayed in this lovely apartment apartment during the 2021 festive break. The apartment is in a prime location on a side street a few minutes walk to the exciting Istiklal Caddesi pedestrian shopping street. The side street has a great selection of cafes and small shops, and is a 1min stroll to the French street with its cosy bars. Vefa is a great host, and is very responsive to any questions and requests. We loved our stay and will be back in Istanbul again and happily stay in this apartment again.
