I went to Istanbul with my boyfriend and our stay at Alev's flat waw perfect. The flat is ver well located: few minutes from the center by walking and as in a village! That was so convenient to discover the true Istanbul! Alev was very welcoming and helpful, she adviced us some places to go which made our trip amazing! We will not forgeot our 4 excinting days here and will contact her again if we come back! Do not hesitate to go... it is a veny nice place to stay!!
