The best thing about this flat is its location in the lively Cihangir neighborhood full of nice cafes and antik shops. The entrance to the building is at the end of a cosy pedestrian alley with flower pots and tiny staircases, which makes the place feel like home. The flat itself is clean, nicely furnished and decorated, has all essentials including a washing machine and laundry detergent. You can sometimes hear neighbors upstairs walking, especially at night, which did not bother us much, but just a heads up. The hosts are working on adding better sound insulation.
Pelin is a great host, very responsive and helpful. She organized our transfer to the airport on the way back, which was very convenient. She also sent us useful links regarding city transportation and provided the map of neighborhood with recommended dining spots. One day the water was shut off in the entire neighborhood for a couple of ours for emergency repairs, and Pelin was calling a water company every 10 minutes and giving us updates.
Overall, we had a great experience with Pelin and her flat, and will definitely recommend this listing to our friends!
