This is a delightful apartment in Cihangar, one of the nicest and most attractive districts of Istanbul. Alev met us on arrival and showed us the ropes. She has created a lovely atmosphere with curvy furniture and light pretty colours. Everything worked wonderfully and the plus is that Alev had left a few starters, such as coffee, olive oil and butter, so that we didn't have to immediately rush out to shop. The real pleasure is the feeling of homeliness, light, airy, heating when you need it and, above all, peace and quiet at night. (this last is qualified: the neighbourhood moggies were in party mood over the New Year!)
Alev also kindly left several useful guides and maps of Istanbul, as well as good books. Thank you! We had a lovely stay.
