Ferhat’s place is a great value. For starters, it’s remarkably close to Taksim and many restaurants and bars. The space is cozy, modestly decorated with gorgeous hardwood floors, and a nice little view out the window (front). Wifi is solid and reliable. Shower is good. Kitchen is small, so if you plan to cook your meals daily, it’s not impossible, but it is cramped. Ferhat is a good host who is very communicative, accommodating, and friendly. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to stay close to Taksim, works from home (this in need of reliable wifi), or is not looking to spend one’s life savings in the process. Will stay again when we are in Istanbul. Thanks Ferhat!
