It's my first time in Turkey. I was lucky that found Authentic Turkish Home. Before make reservation I needed ask several questions and Mert responded quickly. From airport to Istanbul I was stuck in a traffic. Mert patiently waited for my arrival. About hotel I stayed on 3rd floor 1 bedroom with kitchen and very cute balcony. Everywhere clean and nice apartment. Mert advised few restaurants in the neighborhood which located 2 blocks away and whole street full of cozy, beautiful restaurants. Prices are not expensive and delicious foods especially breakfasts. My favorite restaurant was Ortakoy Firini good thing about this restaurant they have bakery too. Till Bosphorus 10 min walk from hotel. There is too a lot of restaurants and gift shops. My last day I had to go to the airport and Mert offered to order a taxi. And it was a large and comfortable minivan. I arrived at the airport with great comfort. In the end, I would like to recommend this Hotel. Mert thank you very much for your help and hospitality.
