Amazing view, great neighborhood, spacious, vintage/funky apartment - just like on the pictures, and totally worth the 7-story stairs! I am a light sleeper, but it was very calm at night, and only the normal hustle and bustle during the day with the windows open (or on the amazing rooftop terrace). A little complicated to get to, but Dilek was very responsive: our taxi driver did not speak English so he called her for precise directions. *** Pour les amoureux de la langue française, je confirme ce que le panneau d'instruction pour le gas suggère: une collection passionante de romans et autre littérature en française, de quoi occuper les journées de pluie ou de repos, sur ladite terrasse... 5 jours passionants à Istanbul, merci Dilek!
