Serkan very easy to communicate with -- both before and during the trip. He met us on arrival and showed the apartment features and nearby facilities.

We were four adults and found the apartment very comfortable. The location is walk-able to the Tophane Tram station which connects to the historical area and on the other side Istiklal Avenue (where all the action is) was also easy to walk to. Sites such as Gelata Tower, Istanbul Modern and two Hamamis are also walkable! Sometimes we took taxis which whiz by the nearby corner every few minutes.

There are multiple grocery shops nearby too so overall this apartment and Serkan's inputs made our trip memorable.
