My family and I stayed at Mert’s place for 9 days. The apartment is located in one of the best neighborhoods in Istanbul, metro, tramway & trolly are only 2 min walking.
Galata tower is a 6 min walk
Istiklal street is right behind the apartment
It is surrounded by so many nice bars and restaurants.
The apartment itself is very spacious and clean. It is technically on the first floor but has maybe 15 steps to get there.
Mert was promptly responsive to all of our needs, he sent his assistant to meet us on arrival which was very helpful.
The building is old so there is no AC , weather cooled down during our stay.
We had a wonderful stay there and would definitely go again.
