To start with Cihangir is one of the best neighbourhoods to stay in European side of Istanbul. You would find Cihangir filled with artists, antique shops, lamp shops, skateboard shops and many more. Hasan's place has great breakfast places, cafes, restaurants & bars within few minutes walking. Do ask him for recommendations, he has a great list of places that he could forward you with maps. Istikal street, Taksim, Galata & Beyoglu is all 10 mins walking distance from the property. Hasan provides a free IstanbulKart which I used every to travel around. The top floors of his apartments have great views of Cihangir neighbourhood specially during sunsets. The room was tastefully decorated and was very clean as well. I felt the rooms were a little smaller than how it looks in the Airbnb pictures. Hasan was an awesome host and was very eager to help whenever he could. Overall, a very happy stay!
