Ok, how should I start. I've been to quite many Airbnbs around the world, but nothing even comes close to Sadik's place and his hospitality. First of all the apartment is just as chic and eccentric as the neighborhood it is in. Cihangir - the neighborhood is very centrally located, close to Istiklal avenue, Galata and Taksim, but at the same time very safe and quiet.
The apartment was clean and had all the amenities, the living room has a nice view of the neighborhood.
And Sadik is such a cool guy, always so helpful and attentive letting me to check-in very early. He invited me to hang out with him and I even celebrated the New Year with him and his friends.
When I came to his place, he was just a host, but by the time I left we were already friends.
If I come back to Istanbul, I'll definitely stay with him again.
