Cihan is an excellent host! He has been very amiable, gentle and helpful. We stayed 7 days at his place. He welcomed us himself and even came to say goodbye at 5:30 a.m. as we had to leave that early. He takes everything under control easily and efficiently, in case of any sort of problem. His flat is very well decorated and comfortable with everything you may need (all kitchen utensils, towels, clean linens and extra comfy pillows etc.). He offers internet and TV as well. Staying at his place, you will not need to take any transportation as it is perfectly central! 5 mins walking distance to Istiklal Street, 7 mins to Galata Tower, 20 mins to the historical peninsula (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace etc.). We will certainly be back. Highly recommended!
