was staying at erays place for 3 nights and had a great time over there. the Appartement is in a verry central location, not far from taksim, istiklal, galata tower and besiktas but still in a verry relaxed and quiet neighbourhood. i felt welcomed and comfortable in the flat. the room is tiny but has everything you need. the balcony is an extra plus. all in all a great time in a great city. i recommend this flat totally for everyone who wants to stay in Istanbul for a few days.
