She is one of the kindest and welcoming person I ever had the chance to meet. She was very attentive to everything, making sure that all went well for me. She doesn't speak English super well, but we managed very well with translating on our phones.
As I was willing to socialize with people here, she offered me to spend time with her amazing friends and I left Istanbul with unforgettable memories - and new friends. Still, she always carefully respected my intimacy and made sure I was ok before inviting any of her friends home.
The room is not big, but the flat is huge, super sunny, with an amazing see view and perfectly equiped. Merve always keeps it perfectly clean and organized.
The location is amazing. At a walking distance from the Moda seaside promenade, its restaurants, cafes and bars; of the Sogulutecesme train station that will get you everywhere in Istanbul and in Türkiye. 20 minutes away from the Kadikoy pier and the super scenic ferry to the turistic Istanbul.
So, if you're looking for a place to call home in Istanbul, do not hesitate one second and go to Merve's!
