I was in Istanbul to do an intensive Turkish course and stayed Sheriff Residence for more than a month. I have to say it was the perfect apartment for me. It was close to my language school and a five-minute walk from Taksim square. It is extremely convenient to get everywhere. The apartment was clean, modern and quite quiet. The air conditioning was very useful during a hot spell and worked well. Check in was easy, people were friendly and there was a small market across the street that was open at all hours where I could get a lot of my basic necessities. Safa was helpful as was everyone who worked there. I strongly recommend and hope to come back again!
