There is a certain charm to the Bostanci area, facing the Sea of Marmara,it seems to never sleep, something is always going on by the sea front, late night snack kiosks abound and yet the area where Mert’s apartment is located is in a quiet middle class neighborhood, safe to walk at night, and just a skip and a hop away from any transport you fancy, be it ferries, sea buses, shared taxis or the metro. The apartment is big, the room is large and cozy with a big window facing out to the quiet street, the large bed is firm and comfortable . Big clean bathroom with hot showers, with washing machine if you need it.The kitchen is adequate for your needs if you feel like cooking, but why bother there are so many places to eat out nearby and sample the seafood feast, its worth it! I had a great time staying with Mert, kind, gentle, and friendly always there to assist you, loads of information on things to do, where to go, he seems to enjoy having guests in his apt, highly recommended, great location and even greater hospitality, don’t miss out on this experience!
