I cannot recommend Serhat and his charming flat more. It has everything we needed and was on a lovely quaint quiet road but two minutes from Galata tower and all the lively shops and restaurants there. The communication was super speedy and Sehrat's friend Muhammed who checked us in couldn't have been more accommodating. It was my birthday and he even helped me reserve a table at a restaurant I wanted to go to (was fully booked online!). We had two little boys and they even let us check out late as we had an evening flight. Wonderful stay in a gorgeous city.
