Mersin's place is immaculately clean, full of natural light, beautifully appointed, and very comfortable. We were a group of friends in town for a private wedding, and the spacious living, dining, and kitchen space was essential to us being able to spend time together. The neighborhood is very local working class; we loved getting away from the touristy areas, but if you're looking for tourist luxury better stay in Sultanamet. Location is great for easy access to the embassies, government buildings, and Taksim/Istaklal area. Mersin was super communicative and even helped us find local places to celebrate--great restaurant and dance venue suggestions. Thanks Mersin!
