Cenk's apartment is beautiful. Very spacious, all modern appliances, lots of light, very comfortable. It's in a good location, just a 5 minute walk to Istiklal, the main shopping hub, and within an easy walking distance to the old town on the other side of the Golden Horn. If you feel adventurous and head downhill in the opposite direction, you'll also be delighted to find lots of eateries, butchers, fishmongers, bakeries etc. where all the locals go, so you've got everything at your doorstep! Cenk is a lovely host, very easy to contact (and he lives just across the hall should you need anything urgently!), and he left us an incredibly generous supply of soft drink, iced tea, water, snacks etc. in the fridge. We loved our stay here, and would highly recommend it.
