Merve’s place was beyond expectations. The area is perfect for walking around Galata, Karakoy, over to Sultanahmet, ferries, etc. Amazing coffee shops and restaurants nearby. The place itself is beautiful, unique design with character, clean, very comfy bed, all the amenities you need including drinking water which was very much appreciated! Merve was an exceptional host, check in was seamless even though I was late! And she was very responsive. I would definitely recommend staying here when you’re in Istanbul and I will be back again for sure!
