Cagri and his girlfriend are a very friendly, helpful and welcoming couple. We really enjoyed staying in their apartment in Istanbul.
Located in a lovely area with many cafes and restaurants(Galata Tower is a few meters away) but also close to some of the most touristic areas (Sultanahmet, Gulhane Park, Istiklal Caddesi & Dolmabahce).

Some highlights:
- the kitchen is very well equipped with absolutely anything we needed, and even more (spices, teas, full stock pantry, etc)
- the view from the balcony is fantastic (we took most of our meals there).
- the internet connection was fast and reliable (we stayed for a month and haven't encounter any problems).
- the apartment is in close proximity to a supermarket (Sok) - although the food variety is quite limited, except from fruits and vegetables which are plentiful.

Some advice:
- The area can be quite loud during the morning (due to its cental location) so make sure to have a pair of earplugs with you, especially if you are a light sleeper (like us).
- The bed in the bedroom is a bit small for two people, but you can sleep on the sofa in the living room if you want (it's also much quieter there).

Overall, it's been a pleasure to meet Cagri and his girlfriend and we sincely hope to meet them again.
