Myself and two friends spent 6 nights at Pelin's place in Cihangir. It literally is the perfect location and I don't think there is any other area we would have rather stayed in. Its in an incredible neighbourhood with amazing history, great cafes and restaurants, shops, etc, and is a short walking distance to all major points in the city. It is a great refuge from busier and more touristy areas of Istanbul and very much has the feel of a community. The flat itself was the perfect size for the three of us, and very comfortable and warm whilst the weather outside was quite cold. Its decorated very tastefully, and was perfectly clean. Pelin and Korce were wonderful hosts and really made us feel welcome and cared for during our stay. When we had trouble with the AC, Korce very kindly came over late at night to sort it out for us and all was well.

We would definitely stay there again, and are already looking into booking our next trip to this amazing city. Many thanks to Pelin and Korce!
