Basak was incredibly friendly. She offered me food on a daily basis, and she even took me to a hammam. Her place is very clean and quiet. At the same time, it is located in the center of Cihangir, and a few minutes walk from great cafes and restaurants. You can also get fantastic views on the Bosphorus right behind the apartment. The room is tiny but there is a lot of space to store clothes about it has two windows with a lovely view on trees and vines. It’s also very calm.
I would recommend staying with Basak.
