Cihan was a good communicator. I booked a day before my flight from New York, and he got back to me quickly to give me the address and details for arrival. When I landed, he was easily available by phone - which is always nice when you book a new place in another country. The description of his place is accurate, and like he assured, the place is very clean. There are a few items that need a little maintenance - I didn't notice much. It's a short walk away from Sishane metro, or Galata tower and a quick Taxi ride from Taksim. Thankfully, the place was also quiet in the evenings and has a comfortable bed. The view really is gorgeous.
