We were pleasantly surprised to find Merve & Ahmet's apartment in our search, it's conveniently tucked away on a side street just steps away from the Galata Tower and is very cozy, nicely decorated and well equipped.
Merve & Ahmet were great hosts, communication was easy and check-in was smooth. The apartment already looked great from the photos but walking in it felt even better than expected. The location is super convenient for exploring the area around the tower or Istiklal Street and although right in the middle of a bustling area you really didn't even feel like it from inside the apartment, it was quiet and relaxing with everything we needed including kitchen, washing machine, good wifi and comfy bed.
Checkout was very smooth as well with taxis often waiting in the Galata Tower area to take you wherever you need to go. This was a great find for our trip and I'd highly recommend both the hosts and this apartment.
