Nothing best to say but that this was a wonderful stay - price, location, and comfort do not get better than this in Beyoğlu.
Merthan’s flat is up on the 2nd floor, which is a great improvement over other flats in the area I’ve rented that by are typically on the 4th or 5th floor. It’s a homey, comfortable apartment with comfy beds and a cozy living area (great couches) - it was a great HQ for 4 adults looking to drink in a city’s worth of activities. It’s not basic nor is it no frills, but at the price one couldn’t expect more. It is an inner apartment that faces an alley on one side but even with bars around the area, we slept well without hearing much noise at night.
Merthan was a fantastic host and very accommodating. He always showed initiative in checking in and helping us out with any issues we had. I highly recommend a stay at Merthan’s.
