We had a perfect week at Gözde's flat, which is really amazing (like shown in the pictures). It has a very nice atmosphere and is decorated and furnished with a lot of love. We found everything very clean an tidy. It was awesome sitting on the balcony with it's beautiful view and listening to the muezzin.
Gözde picked us up at Taksim and guided us to her flat which is pretty close. The neighbourhood of Cihanghir is very lively and has lots of nice spots (and bars, clubs, cafes, restaurants ) to visit and offers you everything you need, even an organic food store. There are several Metrostations around so it's easy to reach the main must have seens.
Gözde is a very kind person, always ready to help with good advices and interested in giving us a good time. If we visit Instanbul again and that is for sure, she will be our first address .
