The apartment was clean and very spacious. It was beautiful and modern and we felt at home.
There was nothing that was not thought of: cologne water, bandages etc. and if you should stay longer, there is also detergent, cleaning supplies and shampoo in the bathroom. You only have to come with your own clothes.
The hot summer days were only bearable with the air conditioning in the living room.
There is a elevator in the building and although it is just in the second floor, it helps a lot if you have many suitcases and bags :)
Tolga is a great host. He checked in everyday and was just one message away. We didn't have any problems during our stay, but if we had, the host made us feel that these would be resolved quickly.
The location is very central in Cihangir, every need (pharmacy, supermarket, laboratory for a pcr test) can be reached on foot in a few minutes. Although it is very centrally located, the bedroom at the back of the apartment is relatively quiet. only in the morning you can hear the adjustment of the chairs from the lower coffee place. The metro station can be reached on foot in about 5-10 minutes (downhill), but the way back to the apartment is a steep mountain hike. Always prefer to go up by taxi. The galata tower and taksim are near and can be reached by foot as well if you do not short for time and want to wander around.
Overall a great place and a absolute gem in ISTANBUL!
