Hi Doret and Izel ,

First of all, it was wonderful with you ! You have welcomed us very friendly in this still strange for us city. The communication in advance , kind messages from you, and the patience with which you have answered our questions have really helped us prepare ourselves on our journey.

Arrived right in the heart of town.

The house can not expect much from the outside and also the hallway you can see in the last decades. But it is through him , arrived on the second floor and opens this impressive apartment door, a one room which opens off a feeling of well being triggered. In short, it feels like home. The rooms are simple yet tastefully decorated. Nothing comes to mind , nothing disturbs . Two sweet bedrooms, a small cozy kitchen , a great big bathroom with walk-in shower, a small rustic guest toilet and a cozy living room with dining table. The living room looks out onto the backyard trees and gardens. The life of the locals , however, one can observe from the bedroom windows overlooking the small alley . The area around the apartment is characterized by a student flair mixed with tourist strikes. If one has left his daily program behind and survived the flow of tourists to the city's sights , it can be in Beyoğlu great with a Dürüm in hand sitting on the curb , watching the running people over . A beer in one of the numerous pubs rounded off the evening perfectly . Of course, we looked at the important places of the city but it is advisable to do this either very early or very late , otherwise the beating quickly grow to a length of waiting 2 hours and more . It is advisable to discover the city on foot to experience all the little things along the roadsides and in the alley. Istanbul lives on the street and that is incredibly exciting .

Thanks for everything and we look forward to a reunion .
