Wonderful place in an absolutely wonderful area. We were in Gurcan's apartment for 3 months and we are so glad we were in Cihangir. Safe, convenient to public transportation, great restaurants and little shops and a really interesting neighborhood.
The apartment was simple and basic but it did well on our top three concerns for a long term apartment - reliable internet, comfortable beds and a good shower. Also we couldn't ask for better communication - Naci lived right in the building and responded right away any time we needed anything. He was fantastic. We loved the rooftop terrace, too.
Be aware that the building does not have air conditioning but the windows all open and after about mid September we were very comfortable even with the windows closed. Naci also provided a big fan that helped a lot. The building is in between a mosque and an elementary school so it's not always quiet but we loved the cheerful sounds of the children during the day. We really felt like a part of the community there.
Thank you Naci and Mustafa for a wonderful experience. We are so happy we chose to stay there.
