As is the case in Turkey, expect some quirks here and there—loose faucet or problems with the overhead lighting, etc. Ümit provided solutions to these little things, like having extra lamps in the kitchen and living room. I loved this place for the location because it is in my favorite part of Cihangir. The flat is below the ground floor but there is still a partial sea view. The bed is very comfortable. And there is a washer and dryer!
