Ladies and Gentleman if you want to visit Istanbul you should definitely think of staying at this place! I've been travelling a lot in my life, and such professional hosts like Mert are rare. His accomodation was exactly as described, and it is perfectly located if you want an authentic impression of Istanbul. Restaurants, markets, landmarks, riverside: Whatever you're interested in, it is only 5 minutes away. Even if you need a quiet moment, you could relax on the balcony without being annoyed by loud noises. I had to travel with a broken leg, so whenever we had questions or needed something, Mert not only replied directly, but also solved the issue within minutes, and was very helpful (there should be another category besides "superhost" as Mert already exceeded this definiton). I can only recommend this accomodation and its host as they "made" our stay, and I will definitely visit this place again.
