The host was exceptional! Such a lovely person. I even went to his cheese shop for a tasting and a lesson on each cheese. Very cool. He will send whatever you need and have anything taken care of.

.The Location: I spend a lot of time in Cihangir and know it very well. This location is phenomenal. It's close to Istiklal and Taksim Square and just a straight walk down the hill to Galataport and the T1 that gets you to the Marmaray and the Hagia Sophia. You are across from one of the best grocery stores and all of my favorite restaurants in Cihangir. (Journey, Rose Marine, Youzu, and even Izaka Terrace).

.The Space: Only two flights of stairs to get to this beautiful flat. Double-paned windows on the living space so even the busy street seems chill. The building is extremely quiet and the neighbors older and very respectful. The bedrooms are in the back where it's very calm and quiet. There is a washing machine and clothing rack to dry. WIFI is great.
