If there is a higher rank than a super-host, Mert and the Authentic Turkish Home should get it.
We reached 2 hours earlier than the agreed check-in time, and I was worried that we will be waiting those 2 hours. I spoke to Mert, he was super nice about it and asked us to wait for few minites in a beautiful cafe right next to the place. 10 minutes later he arrives with the key and treated us and paid for the coffee which was a very nice unexpected gesture.
The place is super clean, washing machine, hairdryer and towels are available with hotel slippers. Also a tiny kitchenette.
The location is perfect, a lovely neighbourhood full of restaurants and supermarkets. 3 minutes walk from Ortaköy and the canal. It is actually a classy area.
Transportation is just a 2 mins walk which takes you all around Istanbul.
I have tried many hotels in Instanbul (Taksim, Sultan Ahmet and Serkeci) and I am 100% staying here and only here in my future visits and very confident to recommend it to everyone I know.
