Liubov’s flat was a lovely short stay for me. Even though I couldn’t spend time with her and her lovely dog Simit, I felt a home feeling from her flat. The location is great if you like to be around Beyoglu and Istiklal Caddesi. The apartment is located on a steep road so make sure to arrive there by a taxi if you are coming with your luggages. Istanbul has many steep roads so you will get used to when you arrive.
