Merve's apt is in a great location for a first time or experienced Istanbul visitor. The neighborhood is quiet, but with a lot of options for food and night life. It is a few minutes walk from a main tram stop, and access to buses, and the Karakoy ferry stop. Basically, it is perfect. The apt is as pictured - with amazing natural light, and a comfy couch for end of the day rest. It is located on the top floor, something to keep in mind if you have trouble with stairs. Merve is quick to respond, and very helpful :) Look forward to my return!
