This was our first visit to Istanbul and Kerem made it so easy for us. We didn't have to worry about navigating the city because he arranged a shuttle to and from the airport for us, which was such a big help. Our room was lovely, filled with everything we needed and cozy on those chilly November evenings. The place is centrally located in a safe neighborhood near Taksim Square and we felt comfortable wandering at all hours. There were dozens of restaurants and cafes just steps away. I loved it here, and I especially recommend Kerem's place for any first-time visitors to Istanbul. I felt immediately at home.
