Tarik's apartment was the best that I have ever rented at Airbnb. Everything is perfect there to feel oneself comfortble and like home. First of all, the district - Cihangir - has a great location, it is quite, with a variety of cafes and resturants around, and at the same time just near to Taksim, Istiklal and Kabatas. A little square next to the apartment is like a little Paris, with so nice outdoor cafes. Migros is just next door and Carrefour supermarket is about 200m away what is very convenient. There is also a shop with a very tasty turkish dondurma.
The apartment is very comfortable, kitchen is fully equiped, so you can cook and bake anything you like. Please, take care of caydanlik (a turkish teapot) as it has a-20-year-old history. There is also everything you need to keep the apartment clean and you will want to keep it clean!
Tarik is very caring, he will be helpful to provide you with anything you need. He is very interesting and kind person.
It was such a pleasure to stay in his apartment and to know him personally, and I will miss this little home for sure:(.
