It was a very good experience staying at Sefa's Sheriff Residence. Very close to Taksim Square, clean and well maintained. Having elevators helped tremendously. Sefa was available all the time, including odd hours when I got locked out of my room. The room was warm, the hot water ran without a glitch. Having small retsaurant next to the building, and several grocery stores all around was a special treat. Sefa was wonderful in arranging stuff, like, immediately finding a van with a driver to take me around, finishing business on the day of my departure for a very reasonable price. Sefa has other staff who are also very respectful, polite and always available if you need them. Having a washing machine helped me out during my long stay. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip.
