Alaaddin is not only a perfect host, but also a brilliant cook. In the little bar downstairs he served us a late dinner upon arrival and a good breakfast. Therefore, the apartment´s only shortcoming - the very small kitchen - is no problem at all. There is more or less all you need to spend some days in this vibrant city, it really feels like home after less than a day. It´s really central, so don´t expect the nights to be calm. To get there, take the airport bus to Taksim and walk down Iztiklal about 5 minutes and then turn right into the upper or lower Bayram which run parallel to Iztiklal. There´s plenty of clubs and bars right next to the apartment; be aware of the odd neighbours. I can recommend Galatasaray hamam, which is also less than 10 minutes to walk. Teşekkür ederim Alaaddin for your kind and cordial hospitality. If we come back, we will be glad to stay with you.
