Merve's apartment is exactly as it is presented - an exceedingly clean and cozy environment providing fortunate guests with the feeling of home away from home. Being my first Airbnb experience, I was especially particular about finding an apartment that really matches up with what it presents itself to offer and Merve’s apartment did not disappoint in any way. It is centrally located (a stone's throw away from the popular Istiklal Street) and one is able to reach Istanbul's prominent attractions in no time. Due to the apartment's central location in one of Beyoglu's bustling areas, one is able to soak in the zestful ambiance that Istanbul is well known for as a European city that never sleeps, and there is no shortage of cafes, restaurants, kiosks, and grocery stores. Communication with the host was seamless and her response time was always prompt. She exemplifies the qualities of a top host who really cares for and ensures the well-being of her guests. The only complaint is that there is nothing to complain about. Cozy apartment, super host, beautiful Istanbul experience.
