Merve’s place is set in the heart of a very hip and relaxing neighborhood, a nice respite to all the hustle and bustle of Galata and Beyoğlu! Although the main street has a few noisy bars, Merve’s place around the corner was very quiet and calm. The bed is very comfortable and the shower has good pressure and hot water. Merve was very responsive to my communication and the check in/out process was very smooth. The apartment was very clean as well. I would stay here again if I return to Istanbul!
