Great location location location! Cihangir is the place you want to be in Istanbul. The Brick Palas flats are located just off of a quiet street, and 5 minute walk to great cafes, bars, and restos. The place was very clean, had an elevator (which is rare in such an old city), and secure. Arek - the host was helpful and quick responding. Also good value. I travel to Istanbul often, and will stay again in the future.
