Merve was a wonderful host! She was there to help whenever I needed support, whether it was booking a taxi or getting groceries. It's very nice to have that local insight from your host and she absolutely provided that for me. Her space is warm and comfortable, very much a home - nice big cozy bed too 😀
She works long hours so she wasn't around too often but it was very nice getting to know her when we were in the apartment together.
I was her first ever guest so I gave her a few pointers on how to make her place even more inviting but overall I'm very happy that I spend my time in Istanbul at Merve's!
