We enjoyed staying at Cihan's place! Everything was fine - cosy apartment, nice balcony (terrase), authentic neighbourhood, lots of shops and cafes/restaurants nearby. Great place to deep dive into Istanbul life. Bus stop just 2 minutes walking. Cihan is wonderful host - very attentive, helpful and just a nice guy (he also tought me how to make Turkish coffee). Getting in touch with Cihan is truly easy.
I would definitely recommend Cihan as your host and staying in this apartment :)
