We stayed with Erdal while exploring Istanbul. The place was just what we needed, a private, secure and comfortable home in the middle of the city. Taksim is super close by, as well as the fantastic Iksiktal Street, as well as a short walk to the tramway by the water. It was a really safe neighborhood, with grocery stores close by for supplies.
Erdal and team were amazing hosts. They were very flexible, accommodating and just lovely to deal with.
I had the best time in Istanbul, and can't wait to return. If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay in Istanbul, you can't go past Erdal's apartment :)

Thank you for having us!
