We stayed in Cihan's apartment for 5 nights and it was absolutely perfect for out stay. the location is ideal - close to a metro stop, walking distance to lots of great areas for food and drink and really close to many touristic places such as the Galata Tower. It takes only 20-30 minutes to reach the other side of the river from the apartment, which is a really nice walk which we did most days when out visiting sights.

The apartment itself is bright, clean and ideal for a city break. Cihan waited to greet us although we were running very late which was very kind. He's a great host, warm and kind and was in constant contact throughout the trip to offer advice, assistance and to check all was well. Staying in Cihan's apartment really enhanced our amazing trip to Istanbul and is highly recommended! Stay here if you're visiting the city and you won't be disappointed. There's also a great little cafe just next door for breakfast which is a great way to start the day!
