Perfect location the hearth of Cihangir: the trendiest and hippest neighborhood in Istanbul! The apartment is beautiful and full of natural sunlight all day. It's located on the top floor (3rd floor) and it's well decorated and has everything one needs for a day-to-day normal life. Perfect for my long stay and to work remotely with good comfort. You can find basically everything close by: nice restaurants, cafes, bakeries, grocery stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, banks, ATMs, antiquaries shops, and art galleries. Istiklal street is just a 5-minute walking distance. If you like to hang out at night this is the place to be because you can easily walk to some of the best Bars and nightclubs in the city center.
The main tramline is far (15 to 20 walking distance) but the metro line is close to Taksim Square which can be easily reached in 7 minutes of walking. I just loved the apartment's wooden floors, pillars, ceilings, and plenty of windows that let in more than enough daylight through the day and this was a very important factor for me because I booked 36 nights and had to work a couple of hours every day. Internet worked just great and I found it very reliable for intensive professional usage.
Despite being located in the center I didn't find the place very noisy, and there were some nights I even slept with the windows opened without any issues. The bedroom has AC that works great too!
I didn't have a chance to meet Melike but his friend Arda was there in person to check me in and both of them were always available and replied quickly. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, I was forced to leave Istanbul earlier than expected so I had to check out sooner but this is an apartment where I would love to come back to since I visit Istanbul very often. I definitely recommend you book this place for your stay in Istanbul.
