My husband and I recently stayed at Erhan's place for ten nights, and we felt both comfortable and safe. The apartment is as described, and very bright and spotlessly clean. We especially enjoyed the comfy king size bed and the views from each of the rooms. Communication with Erhan was smooth and efficient, as Erhan responded to any inquiries immediately- whether before check-in, or during our stay. Erhan also provided a multitude of interesting suggestions about sights and things to do in Istanbul, and he checked in with us to make sure everything was ok. We also liked the neighbourhood, as very local, away from any tourist attractions and quiet. There is a bakery 2 Minutes from the house, and a 24/7 restaurant down the street. Transportation to all sights is also nearby. As mentioned elsewhere, apartment is on the 3rd floor, no elevator, so not suitable for folks with mobility problems. Other than that, would recommend!
