Had a great time at Kerem's place. Thank you to Murat for all the helpful tips and good conversations. Check in was easy, room was very clean and comfortable. Quiet location near Taksim Square and the great Istiklal Cd. street for people watching and shopping, check out the side streets. (For live traditional music go down Istiklal to Balo street and turn right, Otantik Turku Bar.) Will stay here again. Thank you Murat for a great stay in Istanbul.
