I spent a wonderful time in Istanbul in Alev's apartment with a friend.
We stayed 5 nights.
Alev was a perfect host, she was very helpful, she gave us a lot of informations, the last night she also helped us finding a place where to dance tango!

the location is central, the terraces are great, the apartment is clean and very nice. i loved to stay there. there was a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

the only note is that there is a steep staircase to access the plan, it was not a problem for us but maybe it could be for someone and there was no door in the bathroom upstair, but this was not a problem for us.
alev also offered us to have a shower in her bathroom downstairs at any time.

i highly recommend a stay in her house!
