And always with the carpets and tea. Wow, this is bringing back lots of memories of my time in Istabul — lots of beauty, fascinating history, way too aggressive guys with multiple agendas!

We didn't eat there but we did stay at the hotel the last night. We did not eat there but did enjoy the hotel. I think you are going to like it so much better when you get to the apartment. You don't get hit up as much in the Beyoglu area. If you are looking for a hip place - try the House Cafe on ?stiklal Cad. It might be pricey so check first but it definitely had a crowd and very hip looking. There is a second one also back in the off streets behind Tunel. Right across from it is a great little lokanta - Helvetia. We had our cheapest lunch there - 25TL for two. They don't speak Turkish much but you can point. I don't think they have wine.
