Everyone in Istanbul lives on a hill. Happily, Ceyda's is quite manageable. Her flat is very comfortable, as is the neighborhood. There are markets nearby, restaurants all over the place, a handsome park just up the hill. I enjoyed the walk down to Besiktas to get good transport everywhere. Some folk might want to taxi home to avoid the climb.Ceyda is a charming and thoughtful hostess. You'll enjoy meeting her. By the way I have stayed in Istanbul flats for three times her rate and not been as comfortable as I was here. Thanks, Ceyda.
