We have stayed at Erhan's place for 1.5 months and the whole experience was truly amazing!
The house is located in literally in the hearth of Cihangir, an incredible neighbourhood full of restaurants, bars, supermarkets, art galleries and everything you need. The house is located in a very nice local street which is close to everywhere you'd like to go. You can walk to Taksim in 5 min, to metro or walk 5 min to the opposite direction and take the ferry to cross to the Asian side which is very strategic because you skip one of the biggest problems of Istanbul; The traffic.
The house is built & decorated by Erhan and the interiors of the place is very warm and tasty. Both rooms are very comfortable and the house is equipped with everything you need. We truly felt home. One of the rooms has a balcony as a plus that opens up to a nice patio where you can have your coffee looking at the orange trees and start your day full of positive vibes!
Erhan is an incredible host who was there for us from the beginning to the end. He made sure nothing was missing. His communication was great and all we had to do was to send him a text if necessary and he sorted us out with everything we need. He checked on us regularly and made sure we were okay. We have received tons of local tips from him which made our experience even better and more local.
I recommend this place to everyone and whenever i go back to Istanbul, it will be the first place i will be looking to rent!
