This apartment could not be on a better street in Istanbul (and in Cihangir, it's a great street--calm, close to everything, flat, with beautiful homes). It was a cool cave-like oasis during a steamy August, and Halil was the perfect host. He was there waiting for us when we arrived and he was incredibly attentive for the entire stay. The fridge was stocked with fruit and drinks, there was coffee. We lacked for nothing. We were able to wash our clothes because there was already detergent and a drying rack. Every detail was accounted for. Everything was seamless. I strongly recommend this place and anywhere where Halil is hosting.
