I had two weeks at Mert’s apartment. The stay in overall was very good. The apartment is cozy and clean. It’s only 2 min to İstiklal street, 15 min walking to Taksim and 5 min to Sisane Metro Station. I have been to many times in Istanbul and this was one of the best apartments I’ve stayed in. Mert was very supportive all the time. I highly recommend the place.
