Cinar was an amazing host. We never got to meet him, but he arranged for his friend to check us in. The location of the place is really great! Close to the Galata tower, and the waterfront. The home is a cozy place, with all the basic things that could be required!! Cinar was more than sweet to let us stay an extra hour from the check out time, since our flight was much later. He always responded very quickly!
