Many thanks, BBAJ. You seem to have misunderstood my intentions, though. - Not that I can blame you: We had a bit of a scruff a couple of years back about price-quality in IST mongering and I suppose you assume I´m looking for budget solutions. Well... In actual fact, I´m looking for in-my-neighbourhood solutions. I love to hang out in the local bars, find a girl and then WALK back to my hotel. - The way they do it in SE Asia and much of Latin America.
I´ll go on looking for a nice GF hotel within 10 minutes walk from Mustapha Kemal Cad. I can´t expect people from the "big, car-loving nations" to understand this, but... having to take a taxi for 15-30 minutes back to the hotel just doesn´t feel right to me. :-(
