Our stay in this very cool, red-brick studio apartment was great! It is located in a quiet area of hip Cihangir and comes with a view of the Bosphorus! Perfect for a longer stay as it has all the basic needs. It's a 5 minute walk from the tram, 15 minutes to Karaköy, Galata and very close to Istiklal Str.
Taygun is the nicest host, very caring and helpful. He walked us to the studio and made sure we had all necessities and could always contact him when needed. As an added bonus, Taygun has an espresso-bar (walking distance from the studio) with what has become my fav. latte of the city!
If you want to stay local yet super close to all trendy locations, this is a perfect airbnb.
