Merve and arif were great... First I arrive very late, and they were very patient with me. The neighborhood is very convenient at the heart of taksim, for real everything is around there. The house is really cozy and has this turkish style that makes you feel like part of the city. I had some inconvenients with my flight that was cancelled and delayed and merve welcome me to stay longer and even one more night without previouse booking. I think I was very lucky I book with them and I am very grateful for all the help finding the places I wanted to visit... i was also looking for the rip advisors reviews and the best restaurants are just around the corner of this place in taksim street...you connot lost it...This experience just make me want to come back to Istanbul, I felt really welcome...
