I stayed in Merve's flat for 2 nights during my stay in Istanbul. Room was neat&clean. I could reach Istikal street within 5-10 mins. Merve and her boyfriend were very friendly, smiling and caring.
Istanbul has a bustling nightlife, so I felt safe everytime when getting back to this flat in the late night. Overally, my stay in Istabul was great due to this wonderful host. Thanks:)
