This was our second stay with Karem. We’d rented this apartment last year in August. We were two families this time and one of them stayed at the Cihangir, Boyuglu, apartment. It was their first time in Istanbul and being in the heart of the city was an amazing experience for them. As expected it rained a lot and the apartment with its hearty, antique-like decoration was the coziest place to be on a gloomy rainy day. The kitchen was stuffed with things that you wouldn’t buy on a 10-day-visit such as olive oil, a big bag of filter coffee, or dish washer tabs. All in all I think the fact that this was our second stay with Karem is enough of an indicator of how great of a host he is. Already looking forward to our trip next year.
