We had a wonderful stay in Chikos place. We were only two ladies. The area was very safe, whilst being lively and enjoyable. Lost of shops and restuarants close by. Walking distance from everything, even at night, very safe. The apartment itself was very clean, it was quite and we could get enough sleep and of course, the view was stunning! Chiko is an amazing person and host. He helped us with everything! From carrying our bags to sending us links of the 'must see' local places. We will definitely recommend this place. And we hope to see Chiko and Istanbul again soon.
