Had such a great time staying at Bilgehan's place - we were lucky to have him welcome us in person and get an intro to the neighborhood over a delicious lunch. He was thoughtful in introducing us to the city, stayed in touch throughout our trip and gave us great suggestions for activities and restaurants that ended up being some of the highlights of the trip - don't miss his recs! The studio is a very cool, unique space with lots of light and great views from every angle, especially from the roof. The location is perfect - right in the middle of cool Cihangir and with easy access just a few minutes by (a very nice and air conditioned) tram to all the historical attractions. It was hot when we came in August, so we slept with the windows open to catch a breeze. Be ready to get your exercise climbing the stairs; this might not be the best choice for those with knee / hip / mobility issues. Overall just a fantastic stay. The only regret was that we could not stay longer!
