The place is close to all the action and Tülay is a good host. She gave me some local tips and warned me for bar scams. I was stubborn and thought these things would not actually happen to me, but actually 3 separate strangers wanted to have 'drinks' with me (rip me off). I'm a naïve sucker and without Tülay's warning I might have fallen for it. Don't let this scare you away, Istanbul is a beautiful city. Just be vigilant and use common sense. Anyway, you are safe with Tülay.
