You can access all areas except the other bedroom. I work from home as a private language tutor and a therapeutic masseuse. On rare occasions there might be someone for lessons or therapy, there shouldn't be a problem, you can still go around your own business, just a bit more sensible and quiet in this case. I'm helpful and quite knowledgeable about the city and its intricacies. As long as I'm available, I'll be happy to assist you and give you tips

Neighborhood Overview: I live between 2 of the best districts in Istanbul: Beşiktaş and Nişantaşı. While the first is more bohemian, very lively, famous for its night-life and next to the Bosporus, the later is much more affluent, elegant and full of specialized restaurants and internationally renown designer shops. Both are pretty, safe, very central and share an exiting lifestyle. Everything is steps away or very nearby; gorgeous parks, mosques, Taksim and the TOP TOURIST ATTRACTIONS. I'm surrounded by a huge array of cafes, restaurants, shops, bars and live music venues; all this contributes to making Beşiktaş one of the most sort after districts in Istanbul. Yet I live at a quiet and safe street. Witin 1 to 2 min walk: a hospital and pharmacy (at the corner) 3 supermarkets, including the cheapest chain in all of Turkey. The Saturday bazaar/farmer's market with very fresh and some organic products, only 150 meters away. My street is quiet and with a line of trees. The Bosporus is a short walk away, f

Notes: For avid walkers; the walk to TAKSIM trough Maçka park it's wonderful and it only takes about 25 min to reach Tksm. Or if you take the CABLE-CAPSULE ("teleferik") you can cross the park and have a gorgeous view from above and save a few min walk. You could even walk further to GALATA tower within 50 min (20 from Taksim square) and keep going down to Karaköy, only 5 min from Galata and another 10 min to Eminönū to the wonderful Spice bazaar and the Yeni mosque. All together you can walk from home to Eminönū in a bit more than 1 hr.

Transit: **There are 3 bus routes that pass by the corner of the flat (130m) They go to TAKSIM, another to EMINÖNŪ (Spice bazaar) Karaköy & Yeni Kapı (very near the Blue mosque). 5 min walk there's the dolmuş (collective taxi) that goes to Taksim in about 5 min. **Osmanbey metro is 15 min walk. This metro can lead you to Atatūrk airport within one hour with a short-easy change at Yeni Kapı. **Kabataş tram that leaves you at the door of the Blue mosque, Aiğa Sofia, the spice and Grand Bazaars is 25 min walk or 1 bus ride away from this corner. Optional; taxi to Kabataş in 6 min and costs about €2.5 ** The ferries to Ūskūdar only take 5 minutes to reach ASIA! Or 20 min by luxurious ferry to Kadiköy (only 70 euro cents) From Beşiktaş centre there's another dolmuş to Taksim (5-7 min ride) and a huge selection of buses to go all around and mainly the most beautiful palaces in the city and near the Black Sea at Sarıyer!

Access: You can access all areas except the other bedroom. I work from home as a private language tutor and a therapeutic masseuse. On rare occasions there might be someone for lessons or therapy, there shouldn't be a problem, you can still go around your own business, just a bit more sensible and quiet in this case.

Interaction: I'm helpful and quite knowledgeable about the city and its intricacies. As long as I'm available, I'll be happy to assist you and give you tips on how to move around more efficiently, saving time and money with transport and eating out or bargaining like a pro at the bazaars! Being Mexican gives me a more unbiased view on Turkey, it's culture, traditions and life in general. I might be able to share some of my Mexican cooking or tips on how to prepare a great tasting guacamole or salsa. Also, could teach you how to play tavla (backgammon) if you already know, then we could have a fun match.

House Rules: No smoking inside, only outside or on the balcony. No shoes inside, specially bcse the carpets are very light. Respectful, tidy, independent, easy going.
