This was a great find! The apartment itself is beautiful, with lovely wood floors, a bay window, and tasteful furnishing. It's one floor up from street level. The location is excellent, as it is situated in Cihangir, a charming neighborhood that is a quick walk to both Taksim (metro and buses) and Karakoy (tram, buses, and ferries). There are great restaurants nearby, and both commercial shopping (Istiklal St) and niche boutiques (Cihangir) right there. Cihan was responsive and helpful. Check-in was simple. I would definitely stay here again.
