Pelin's apartment is wonderful. Located in an excellent area of Cihangir with nice cafes and restaurants, boutique stores and Kabatas ferry port a nice walk away. Istiklal caddesi also very close, and it is safe and vibrant enough late into the night to walk home. The apartment itself is well equipped with everything you need. We particularly enjoyed the wide screen TV and many cable channels- perfect for watching the world cup. The couches were very comfortable and the air conditioning was great with 30+ degree heat. The bathroom included toiletries and slippers. Pelin was a wonderful host. She was there to help us out with anything we needed. We would love to stay here again.
