I travel to Istanbul few times a year for business and I stay in Cihangir area; quite intentionally I try different Airbnb flats [for a variety of experiences]. Simply put, Murat is NOT only the BEST HOST I have ever encountered, but Murat's place is the BEST VALUE for the money in Cihangir; place is quite cozy, you feel like you are at home; it is CLEAN, and situated in a very quiet neighborhood. only3 minutes walk to Taksim square [metro] and 5-6 minutes walk to tram that will take you to famous mosques and grand bazaar; Murat's place is the BEST CHOICE for a flat in Cihangir area. Safe travels and enjoy Istanbul!
