I recently have been here. The location was perfect - within walking distance ( 5 minutes) of Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, the subway, and the bus station.
My flight schedule changed 4 times because of weather conditions, and I had to change check-in time 4 times! But Cihangir was flexible with check-in time.
What stood out the most to me was the host's level of helpfulness and availability. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. This makes me feel like I was staying at a friend’s apartment rather than a stranger's.
The apartment itself was also clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. It had all the necessary amenities, including a fully-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and high-speed internet.
I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a combination of a great location, hospitality, and comfortable space that make a good experience in Istanbul.
