I have been going to Istanbul for business, 4-5 times a year, during last 5+ years; always stay in Cihangir area, using various different Airbnb flats/hosts ... as such, and base don my extensive experience of various Airbnb options in Cihangir area, I have to say, Burak's place is among the top 2 places I have found in Cihangir; Breakdown: (i) location: best place in Cihangir; on the street with popular restaurants/bars; (ii) host: Burak is friendly, super responsive, and utmost professional; you cannot find a better host in Cihangir; (iii) cleanliness: place is nice, clean, and well furnished; kitchen a bit small, so if you do lots of cooking, you will find kitchen, too small!; (iv) access: 10 minutes walk to Taxim square and metro station in Taksim; 6 minutes walk to tram station that takes you to Bazaar, and famous mosques ... SUMMARY: Burak's place is the BEST VALUE for your money in Istanbul.
