Our stay at Cagri's place was just perfect for our four days in Istanbul. The location is very central in Galata and even though the place is right in a busy street, the balcony is on the back of the house. So while you enjoy the view of the Boshporus it is actually relatively quite, but when you go out of the door you in the middle of the buzzing city. Cagri is just a great host, giving you the right amount of space you need but also tips and infos. He welcomed us very late when we arrived which wasn't a problem at all. The flat is very suitable for couples and we certainly recommend staying there.
