Julie's apartment was the perfect place to explore Istanbul from! Very well located in Taksim and a 5 min walk from the bus stop and also near many restaurants, grocery stores and Istiklal street. The house itself is beautifully styled, with great views from the window and a very comfortable living space. The apartment is on the 4th floor without an elevator, but this is only a small price to pay for the beautiful view and having less noise from the street. Julie and her friend Helen who checked us in were extremely flexible with check-in times and great at communicating. They even kindly offered to arrange a taxi from the airport to the apartment. Highly recommended as a cosy, comfortable and well-located apartment. Thanks for our stay! :).
