Serhat & Berkcan are super hosts. Their apartment is meticulously clean & comfortable. The AC in the living room works great. Their is no AC in the bedroom, but it does have a nice circulating floor fan. It is a 10-12 minute walk north to Taksim Square and 8-10 minute walk downhill to the Bosphorus Strait & T1 blue tram line. I highly recommend this lodging.
