We loved Cem's place - it's 100% accurate to the photos and the description. The TV room is an absolute Netflix black hole - impossible to escape that comfy couch, huge TV, and 5.1 sound.
The area is safe and has a lot of transport options around. It takes just 10 minute walk to the sea and many beautiful parks, bars, and restaurants.
The whole time Cem was very responsive and helpful. Thanks for making our stay in Istanbul a 5-star experience!
