I had a very short, one night stay of less than 24 hours but felt at home as soon as I arrived. Mert is a very kind and welcoming host, who tries his best to make you feel comfortable in his very neat and tidy home. The apartment is very well located to all modes of public transport for wherever you want to go in Istanbul. Mert is not only a great host but also an intelligent guy with a good soul. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend him to anyone.
