Pelin’s apartment was the perfect place to stay in Istanbul. The apartment is clean and cosy and the location couldn’t be better – tucked away in a quiet street but just a few metres from the lively Cihangir café district and close walking distance to Istiklal Caddesi, Galata, Taksim, the Bosphorus and tram stop. The bed is a fold out sofa but is very comfortable.

Pelin was a great host. She provided helpful and clear directions to get to the apartment, met us to show us around and even offered to do laundry if we needed it.

I would highly recommend staying here!
