Erven's place is conveniently located, with a tram stop and a lively centre of Cihangir (nice cafes) at a stone's throw and Taksim at around 10 mins of hike up the hill. The street is lively - with food shops and a borek place, but bedroom is not facing it, so one can get decent sleep) The place is very comfortable for a couple, with its own character. If you don't like sterility and uniformity of hotels, this is a good choice! Nice part - the kitchen area comes with enough utensils to cook meals (fish market at Karaoy compels to make some fresh seafood dishes)). All in all, it does feel like kiving in a friend's place, since Erven is a friendly and responsive host! The only issue is that the house seems to be not quite soundproof, so we could hear neighbours and neighbours could also hear us.
