Where do I start? Erhan’s place is incredible for longer term stays. I’m sure it’s great for short term too. My boyfriend and I stayed a month and are avid cooks, so we were very happy with the well equipped kitchen. Has everything you could ever need and was the reason our stay was so special. There was a lot of space too; the second bedroom has a desk and a fold out Double bed which we left it as a couch and used that room to work or exercise. But if you’re a group of 4 or 2 couples, I think there would be enough sleeping space. The location is perfect too. Just a 30 second walk and you see a nice view of the water, and 2-5 min walk more and you’re in the center of Cihangir one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Istanbul. Loads of restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and Taksim with short walking distance. Erhan as well was an amazing host. One of the most communicative and caring hosts I’ve had, often checking in that our needs are met. He sent a huge list of recommendations too. I felt comfortable to speak with him about anything! Highly, highly recommend. Especially for long stays or people who want to feel at home in Istanbul.
