Emrah's place is very trendy and on a really cute street walking distance from Istaklal and Taksim area. The street is quite tiny and fairly close to the corner of a very busy street- so if you have a driver dropping you, you might have to walk just a couple of meters up the hill to get to the door- as many vehicles won't fit. But a warm welcome from Emrah was just steps away- and he showed me all around the property. My only complaint has less to do with the property itself and more with the guests staying above me who were quite loud and seemed to pace back and forth for hours until 3 or 4am- So if your neighbors happen to be inconsiderate and wear their shoes in the unit above you- it may disturb you. At any rate, Emrah is lovely and the place is cozy and charming. I'd stay again... perhaps on the top floor.
