Cenk is a very welcoming and helpful host, he replied very swiftly to our messages and was flexible with the check-out time, which helped as a lot considering we had a late evening flight. The location of the apartment is amazing, just a 5 minute walk to Taksim but the street is surprisingly quiet and calm. The apartment is very cozy and has everything you might need during the stay. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, the bed and the sofa are super comfy. I highly recommend Cenk's place to anyone planning a trip to Istanbul.
