Nida welcomed us with turkish tea and gave us a lot of information about istanbul. We had some problems to found the house, because we don´t travel with a taxi. But later on, we got used to the way and it last about 5 minutes walk to the istikal street. It was also no problem to travel around with metro, tram and funicular. the w-lan was available the hole time. the flat is small but clean. we felt us save in the compound.
