Cenker is a really great host. I stayed for about 2 months and Cenker was always very responsive and caring with any issues which helped me feel at ease. The apartment is very clean, warm, and comfortable with 2 rooms and a bedroom, large TV, fast and reliable internet, and washing machine. I liked that there's a nice view from living room over the adjacent football field and city and that it's across the street from a SOK mini grocery store. It's also just a short uphill walk to the main shopping street and fancy restaurants, and a short downhill walk to a more local area with great local food and shopping. A few notes for those staying longer: Over the course of 2 months I experienced a few electricity outages that lasted a few hours, and also a water outage that lasted several hours, all totally unexpected. Apparently, this is a city-wide issue and nothing to do with the apartment. And lastly, like other places I stayed in Istanbul, the walls are thin. There's not too much street noise, but definitely neighbor noise! I definitely recommend Cenker as a great host who'll make you feel taken care of, and his apartment that feels like home.
