Burak was a very friendly host and easy to communicate with. The apartment is spacious, vintage, high-ceilinged and airy just as we expected. The neighborhood, Cihangir, is really ideal with plenty of trendy cafes, bars and restaurants and very international too. Two warnings though: First, the area is on the top of a hill and not easily accessible with public transports (even taxis didn't want to climb up there!) so we would recommend the apartment to people who enjoy walking! Second and most important: the apartment is surrounded with bars that are open to the street. It's a very popular street to have drinks so be prepared because it can be very noisy until early in the morning.
