Definitely a perfect place with a fantastic host for a stay in Istanbul. Especially if you wanna be close to everything but live in a local neighbourhood.
The communication was more than easy and oncoming from the very first contact. Mert greeted us at the airport and made the arrival extra smooth with a very kind welcome.
The room is awesome. Spacious for 2, a very comfy bed, lots of storage and a nice little bathroom with a fantastic water pressure in the shower. Drinking water is provided, as soft, clean towels are. The wifi is fast!
The breakfast is fantastic too. Mert did everything to satisfy our vegan diet - so kind. He is an outstanding host in many senses, really care-taking for his guests, showing true interest and helping with everything like public transport, cultural advices, administrative or private stuff and gives great sightseeing recommendations. Coming to the Galley and meeting Mert is basically like showing up at an old friends house. I hope, you are a foodie, as his breakfast and dining recommendations are beyond words. We had a fantastic time in Istanbul - especially because of his hospitality - and will definitely come back. Thank you so much, Mert, for welcoming us and showing us Istanbul in such a special way. Loved our stay.
