This flat was about the most ideal spot i could imagine. In a quiet area, the sleep was peaceful, but any number if restaurants, cafes, markets, and even a couple clubs were within a 10-20 min walk. Takşim Sq and the metro were a similarly close walk. Cihangir has what any traveler would want whether it be night life or quiet cafes for reading. Banu was very accommodating and helpful with any questions or issues I had, and very pleasant. Would recommend staying here to my friends. The only thing missing was a view, and even that could be had with a 5 minute walk to the seaside or nearby parks.
