Absolutely lovedmy stay at Mert's flat- located at one of the best areas i n the Asian side of Istanbul, the flat not only provides a centric location close to many ammenities and shops( ex: Bagdad st.) but also the security and safeness that you fear of not having when traveling abroad, especially as a young woman traveling solo. Mert manners and hospitality did the rest. A truly wonderful experience, HIGHLY reccomend!
