We stayed at Cihan's place in the middle of November. This is a terrific apartment in the walking distance of Taksim square. Despite the nearness of such crowd place, the area of the apartment actually is a cozy and rather quiet place with a lot of art shops around. And if you need to have a dinner or a coffee - you will find a lot of cafes and restaurants around. Cihan even gave us a list of his favourite places and most of them I can describe as delicious. As for the flat: this place is charming. You will see a old-school ceiling above you and walk on super cozy creaking floorboards. The main bed is very comfortable. Dining room is magnificent, with lots pieces of art. The kitchen is clean and has all the facilities you need. Bathroom was dampish a bit, but that is pretty OK for old buildings. As for the host: it is hard to find more friendly, polite and punctuality host on Airbnb. It really was a pleasure.
