Sercan is a great host! He cares so much for the guests and communicates extremely well on all matters. The location is great (walkable to Taksim and very close to a metro station) and very easy to find. Surrounding area is full of shops and restaurants. The apartment is clean and organized, and you can cook and wash your clothes. The room has every thing you need for comfort (including a table, desk chair, sofa among others). Overall, highly recommend for individuals visiting istanbul and looking for a comfortable place with central location.
