Cihangir 1 was the perfect place to stay for our first-ever visit to Istanbul, and it will be the perfect place to stay for any subsequent visits!
Elif, the apartment manager, is a joy - the person you would always choose to meet at your rental apartment, especially after an overnight flight. She's competent, efficient, thorough, & on top of all that, the nicest person imaginable - we felt that we were "at home" from the moment we walked in.
The owner also included a wonderful service - an hour with personal concierge Jessica - she provided maps, our first tram tokens, & a great introduction to Istanbul and "our" neighborhood. She helped orient us day one which enhanced our visit immeasurably. We went to the Friday market in Uskadar with her & had one of our best days - it was absolutely everything that one wants when visiting a foreign country - so perfect in all the little ways that travelers love but that are so hard to describe!
The apartment has incredible views and a fabulous location - so easy to get to all the tourist sites while still having a neighborhood home to return to at the end of the day - a great experience in every way.
