Cagri was an ideal host. Besides a perfect appartment (which does not only benefit from a view on the Bosphorus but also from its refreshing wind), he also provided advice and help way beyond housing. Warm and friendly, Cagri gave me the chance to enjoy the life of Galata and Taksim areas, and now I know what has made (and still makes) these places so important in the contemporary life of Istanbul. Cagri and his appartment are thus highly recommended, and I will surely see them again.
