Simay is a very friendly host. She is always available and interested in the well-being of her guests. The apartment is cozy and has a positive aura, just like the hostess.
Everything is there that you need for a vacation. Only the piano and the portable WiFi box were accidentally incorrectly specified by Simay. But we were also able to clarify that. As a Turkish woman, the only thing missing was a caydanlik :) but a Turkish coffee machine is available and it also makes delicious coffee! The neighborhood is very safe and quiet. The bedrooms have windows overlooking a green garden and you wake up in the morning with birds in between, fantastic! And that in the middle of Istanbul! From the living room side window you can even see the sea glitter. The living room has a large window front and is bright and spacious. The kitchen is a bit small, but in Istanbul you don't actually have to cook yourself. There are many restaurants in front of the door that offer delicious food. The apartment is on the second floor. There is no elevator. But that's normal in old buildings in Istanbul. And don't forget, Istanbul is on 7 hills so it goes up and down all the time! In the vicinity of the apartment there is a children's park, a greengrocer and also a supermarket. The area is very fond of animals, there are a lot of cats around and in Cihangir many residents also have dogs as pets, like in Germany :) And I love animals, was exactly the right decision to live in Cihangir. Insider tip: the mosque nearby has a terrace with a fantastic view over Istanbul!
