My friend and I stayed a long weekend in Kerem's place and had a really great time! The room is clean and cozy, exactly like in the photos. It's in a nice, small hotel/residence in a quiet street 2 minutes walking from Taksim Square, 5 minutes from Istiklal Street, and (conveniently) 10 minutes from the stop of the Havabus that takes to the airports. It's perfectly located — close to the heart of Istanbul and the nightlife of Taksim/Beyoglu without being noisy. Sultanhamet and its major touristic sights are only a 10-minute taxi ride or 15/20-minute tube/tram ride. Kerem and his friends working in the residence are friendly, welcoming, and always available to help as needed, providing suggestions for places or things to do. A bargain for what they offer — definitely recommended!
