Mert and Izel’s place is as advertised, and has all that you will need for a comfortable stay. Couch is well sized and converts into a bed, the TV is huge (big plus!) and had Netflix and web browsing capability. The dining area can also double as a work desk. Internet connection was fast and reliable. I especially appreciated the warm and thoughtful lighting of the place. The kitchen was well appointed and a proper fridge was available in the apartment. Washing machine worked fine, and there was drying rack and iron provided. Bathroom has a bit of a smell, but that’s normal for old buildings in this area. Location is very good, close to Istikal street and to many good restaurants, bars, and super markets. Note that there is no lift (but that is mentioned already), and the church nearby rings the bells at certain times during the day but it’s at reasonable hours. Would love to stay here again!
