This listing was an extremely good find. I am a naturally skeptical and suspicious person and felt unsure about the whole situation until the second we got into the building. Mert was a very friendly and warm person which instantly put us at ease. After the house tour he recommended local places we could order from and grocery shop, and made himself available had we needed any help and made sure we had everything we needed. Despite my friend and I's unstable schedules, he was very flexible and understanding and was always willing to go above and beyond to meet our check-in and check-out needs.
The apartment was just off the highway so at night we didn't have sounds of traffic, but were always within 5 minutes of a grocery store or bus stop. It was very tidy, had everything you would need to prepare meals and enjoy a day in, a very comfortable style, lots of movies and a playstation for watching movies or playing games. The only drawback was the bus stop's #16 route took about 40-60 minutes to get to Kadıköy (Bigger part of the city and connects to the ferry to cross to Beşiktaş), but if you take the #17 it was 20-30 minutes. I will be booking here whenever I come back.
