The host had kindly booked a shuttle service for us from the airport as we arrived very late and was waiting for us when we arrived in the apartment. We were well received and informed about everything and towels and sheets were well provided for. The apartment was quite cold when we first arrived, but it got warm once the heat was turned up. The wireless internet connection was quite slow and we could not use it for necessary thins such as bookings tickets. The area was really nice and you have all the necessary facilities around you including shops, cafes, restaurants, pharmacies etc. Cihangir is a really nice and relaxed area and it is easy to access the rest of the city. Please be aware that cihangir is placed on the top of a rather steep hill and the apartment is on the fifth floor, if you have any challenges with getting around. However, this gives you a splendid view from the apartment and the terrace. The apartment has a sauna which we got a chance to use once and it works well and was quite convenient in our case as the weather was quite cold.

In summary a perfectly situated apartment with some good facilities such as the terrace and the sauna and some very nice hosts. Minuses would be the internet and the many stairs, if this is a challenge for you.
