A lovely pad to stay in the historic centre of Istanbul, surprisingly quiet because it is just a step away from very busy streets. Good value for money (albeit off season, early November - perfect time to visit Istanbul!), property is comfortable and clean, host is very polite, helpful and responsive. Bear in mind this area (Cihangir) and adjacent areas have lots of hills and street stairs, which add character to the area but can be hard to manage for older travellers. Avoid driving in this area at all costs but if you must, there are reasonably priced small car parks everywhere. We’ve had a lovely time and would happily stay again!
