My stay here was perfect. Merry is a genuine, warm, helpful person who looks after her guests like family. She was so accommodating to let me check in really early (no guests the night before) and this started off my time in Istanbul with complete relaxation. I was offered various Turkish delicacies, the lounge is a great place to hang out with Merry and some of her friends who were visiting during my stay - and I could retreat to the privacy of my room whenever I wanted to.
The location is ideal, the experience is authentic and you get exactly what is advertised. I was sad to leave this amazing household and its left such a positive impression that I would recommend it to everyone.
There is a cute kitty so keep that in mind if you are allergic - but your room is cat-free, though I did sneeze quite a bit :)
