Wow, what a view and what an apartment! Cihan's place is absolutely fantastic. It is located centrally in one of the hippest neighborhoods in Istanbul and the view is incredible. You have a 180 degrees view of the Bosphorus with gorgeous sunrises included. Seagulls are flying just outside your window and to top off the maritime experience you can watch the ships and ferries pass by. The apartment is spacious,  beautifully decorated and very homely. We especially loved the combination of the view and the fireplace.Overall, Cihan was the most accommodating and forthcoming host we have stayed at so far.,
