Merve’s apartment is in a great, central location in trendy Karakoy. It’s close to lots of bars and little places to have a late night tea. It’s in walking distance of the metro and trams. It’s a little difficult to find but Merve was great with communication. The secluded location also had the added bonus of being a little more private. A good place for solo female travellers. My only tip is don’t get a taxi from the Havabus like I did. Just the the metro and walk - it’s very close!
