Melike's place is the place to stay in Istanbul! Strategically located in the hip neighborhood of Cihangir, just a 10 minute walk to Taksim/Istiklal, with so many nice restaurants and cafes just around the corner. The closest tram station is about a 5 minute walk. The apartment itself is very well equipped with everything you need for a perfect vacation, with a nice sunny terrace and a variety of amenities, from coffee maker to washing machine. The wifi is fast, in case your work depends on that. What I especially liked was the how comfortable the bed was, and the strong water pressure of the shower. Thank you Melike for your great hospitality, and for saving the day when I lost my phone :) I definitely recommend Melike's place to anyone visiting Istanbul, and I hope to return one day.
