Emrah's place is perfectly located- with taksim and şişhane metro stations a few minutes away by walk and the Karakoy ferry terminal you can get to so many places in Istanbul easily. The neighbourhood has a lot of shops, restaurants and even artisan shops where you can find little gems. The flats are super clean and secure. I was suprised to find out they keep the fridge in the shared kitchen stocked with the basics- a little extra touch that made the stay there even better!
