Mert was helpful with arranging an airport transfer, providing maps, and being available via Whatsapp for anything I needed during my stay. The place itself is as pictured and was very cozy. Location is 3 minutes walk to Taksim Square, and from there the metro and tram will take you wherever you need to go. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping on Istiklal Avenue. Mert was attentive and kind for the duration of my stay, and he arranged for a cleaner to clean every few days, a nice perk.
