Had a very convenient time at Alev's place. The charming room is located in the centre of vibrant Istanbul and provides a calm atmosphere as well as enough space and comfort to stay even more than a week. To be honest, I did not even hear the muezzins in the morning, as the place has a very good energy and made me sleep well. Alev is a considerate host, she can tell you a lot about Istanbul and gave great advices where is a good place to spend time, to eat or to get to know different faces of urban Istanbul. And if she is not around, her flatmate is also a very great host. If you are into yoga, ask Alev about the Yoga center nearyby, they also give classes in English. Can very much recommend her room***
