Cihan's flat is spacious, stylish and clean and well stocked with the basics. Big comfy sofa to relax on after long days in the bustling city centre. Good amenities (washing machine, shower, kitchen utilities) and close to transport links/ in walking distance from all restaurants and cafes in Beyoglu area - the most lively area on the European side. We felt Kadikoy on the Asian side might have suited us better - more young & trendy. Saying that, Beyoglu is more architecturally impressive with easier access to Sultanahmet and there are still many locals going to this area. Air conditioning is ticked as an amenity on the listing but Cihan's flat does not have air conditioning. Instead there is a tower fan that is very effective at cooling a room but it's a pain moving it between the living room and the bedroom. Our only other qualm with the place was that to access it you have to cross a 4 lane busy road each time, though the flat is far enough from the road that you don't hear the traffic.
