Ercan's place is very near to Taksim. Food and shopping are just a few minutes away. It's near to the Taksim metro station. Abdullah, Ercan's contact person, replied to to all our inquiries promptly. He also made arrangements for us when we needed to drop off our luggage early.
The accommodations itself was really great. We loved the view of Taksim and a slice of Bosphorous. Having a park just in front and watching people go by with coffee in hand was so relaxing.
