Pelin is a wonderful hostess. This studio is a great value in the heart of Cihangir-- isolated from the touristy buzz and noise of Taksim, and nestled near the artsy, delicious, and hipster cafes and restaurants. The studio is clean, Pelin is always responsive and proactive in terms of checking in. She even met me at the restaurant to give me the keys and offered to give me a tour of the area. The internet is very speedy, and the television was a nice surprise as well. Most importantly, the older buildings in Cihangir are often very cold in the winter and spring, but this studio's heating was just perfect (as was the water heating). The little kitchen was cute and useful as well, and she generously included Nescafe and tea for the guest. I can't recommend this place enough-- the only reason I wouldn't recommend it would be so the next time I try to book it it's not taken! :) Thanks Pelin.
