Mert was an amazing host and made my visit to the Asian side of Istanbul very authentic. He picked me up from the bus stop and the next day made sure I knew how to get on the ferry and any additional transpiration that I would need for the day. His apartment was very comfortable and cosy with easy access to transportation.

Mert went above and beyond what I expected from an Air BnB host. He provided me with many opportunities to see the city as a local and made my visit very memorable.
