I spent a month here while doing some consulting work in Istanbul. The location was fantastic - about a 10 minute walk to the Taksim metro station, and right in the heart of the great Cihangir neighbourhood, with lots of small cafes and shops. I never got tired of finding stuff in the area, even after a month.

The apartment itself was cozy and comfortable - it provided a nice home base for me, with a small-ish kitchen that supported the occasional small cooking project. And I certainly enjoyed a sauna now and again.

The roof deck is also great - even though it was basically winter, I still enjoyed sitting out there of an evening and enjoying the local cihangir skyline.

The whole thing was quite easy - I was met in Taksim Square, walked to the apartment, shown around, and then that was it.
