Mert’s place is in a perfect location for exploring Istanbul! The public transportation is close by and very easy to use. Many sights are a brief bus ride or moderate walk away.
Also, there are bakery’s, restaurants, grocery, pharmacy and much more in short walking distance.
The apartment is cozy and attractive. Mert was there to get us settled in. He and his family are very nice and friendly. The bed was very comfortable! We were really happy staying at his place!
