Pelin was a great host and so helpful to us. She met us or rather waited at a corner cafe for our arrival. She showed us and gave instructions needed for heat, washer, TV, etc. She also gave us a map and use of an Istakart. Her and her partner were so helpful in advice on catching a bus we wanted to take to Chora Church. The Cihangir has fruit/veg, market, pastry, wine shops, great cafes and close enough to antique shops, Tophane Metro, Taksim and Istaklal Cd. A delightful neighborhood to spend a few days in and away from busy Istanbul. We stayed 6 nights so would have liked a toaster or microwave. It is on 3rd floor so is quiet but many steps up. Otherwise the apartment is comfortable and inviting to come back to after a long day of sight seeing. Thanks Pelin.
