Cihan is a really great host, the place is really nice, spacious, and central. If you are visiting Istanbul for the first time, this is the BEST location to stay. It is right next to everything that is great to visit and see in the city, you will be staying a few floors above a really nice cafe and on a street full of musical instruments shops so as you relax you can hear the sounds of violins and singing from the street below. Would highly recommend this place.
