Naci and Nezaket were very helpful hosts, and their apartment has everything you'll need. It was particularly helpful having a desk and chair in each bedroom, and useful washing and drying facilities. I can definitely recommend Naci and Nezaket as hosts as well as their apartment for a longer stay. The location is also really helpful, with shops available very locally (both a Şok and Carrefour) as well as coffee shops, bars and restaurants in Cihangir close by. Taksim Square is nearby for the M2 Metro line, and it's an easy walk to İstiklal Cad. if you just turn right out of the gate and stay on that road. And don't underestimate the rooftop terrace. Beautiful views and a lovely place to sit with a drink or take a laptop and work, any time of day or night!
