I had a wonderful stay in Ceyda’s lovely flat. Ceyda was a brilliant host, their communication was great and they were very understanding around logistics for my check in. The flat is beautiful and had everything I could have wanted, including an iron and a French press! It was very peaceful at night, and cool despite the summer heat. I arrived back late the night I was staying and felt very safe on the streets, they’re well lit and there are shops open all night. The cute cats were a bonus! The flat is incredibly well connected - a few minutes walk from cumhuriyet caddesi where there are lots of great cafes (I recommend polo pastanesi where there is a lovely garden) and great transport connections - you can get to Taksim square in 20 mins by foot and Nisantasi in 5 minutes. I couldn’t have wanted a better location! I hope to go back to Ceyda’s place and thoroughly recommend it.
