Me and my boyfriend were Alev's guests for 3 nights. She has a great apartment with roof-level balcony (cute swing and folding chairs) and wonderful view on the Istanbul roofs and the neighborhood. The rooms are nicely decorated with some oriental style stuff. There is a massage table upstairs which is very useful after the long walks and exploration of the city. The only problem was the low ceiling in the bathroom and bedroom. Also I'd note accumulation of seagulls crying 5 a.m but if u sleep tight u wont hear them. Actually now I almost miss these sounds) and the apartment is absolutely worth staying. Thanks Alev)
