Great place to stay! beautiful view from the balcony, very clean and neat. nicly decorated and furnished with details. Alev is friendy and easy going, also well organized. We stayed for 3 nights in the lower bedroom, with another traveller staying upstairs, no problems with sharing the bathroom. Alev was not around and left the appartment to us, we would have been able to contact her about anything.
trendy neighborhood with couple of nice bars and restaurants, breakfast places, vintage shops... within walking distance from taksim sq, 15 min to gallata tower, or 10min to the tram station.
