We loved Istanbul! And for sure because we had a warm and confortable apartment close to everything. Most of our daily programs could be accomplished either walking or taking the tram. Cihangir has little cafes and restaurants with great food possibilities! It is a nice bohemian area of Istambul, however not crowded neither noisy. The place was clean and tidy. With good wifi! The guest flat is above Alev's and is reached via a ladder. Therefore, you should be a sporty type and not very tall as the roof is not very high. Alev was great: she assisted us before arrival and during our stay. She was a very sweet and welcoming hostess! She suggested us many interesting places to go and chatted the evenings we were around. We do recommend this place!
