His uncle made me some Turkish coffee and they sat and we had some good conversation before I went on my way. Very friendly and if you don't want to buy anything they will not try to be pushy.

Classic case of bait and switch. Bought 3 carpets for a house under construction, had them shipped…read moreto the US, did not open right away and low and behold, all 3 carpets turned out to be different from what we picked.

DO NOT make a purchase from this company or salesman. Punto carpet and Metin Taki Kuy.Guzellik…read more If you have them ship the rug to you, they will do a "bait and switch". You will not receive the rug you purchased. We purchased a 3' x 5' rug from Punto and Metin Taki Kuy.Guzellik. He convinced us to have them ship the rug to avoid carrying it with us and he would pay the import fees. The rug we received was a used/returned rug which was one-third the size of the one we purchased. The company has been in business a long time, but they cheated us out of thousands of dollars. We attempted to contact them several times and they never responded. If you choose to purchase a rug from Punto or Metin Taki Kuy.Guzellik, take the rug with you. Do not trust them to send what you purchased. They will cheat you and you will lose your money.

Simply a fantastic contemporary 3rd generation rug maker located in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul…read more He weaved tradition into his more modern creations. They are hand made and use natural dyes. The use of natural dyes makes each rug a unique item as the color can vary. The owner and creator, Memet Gureli, was friendly and personable. For us we literally have more rugs that we have square footage in our Eichler so we did not buy one, but if you are in the market this would be fantastic place to stop

My fiancé and I came here to look for a Halim. We didn't know exactly what we wanted, but we went…read morearound to a few places. This was the 2nd or 3rd place we went into and right away I knew this was the place. Perhaps it was because I was a seasoned veteran at this point, so I felt better about the price I wanted( I'm not telling you because that's part of the magic and the game). The men who run this carpet stall are father and son. The father taught us about where the carpets were from. He also told us he had a "sister in Manhattan, 40 years!" Every salesman in Istanbul has a "brother in San Diego." Not sure I believed him, but either way they gave us some Turkish tea and we were on our way to haggle city. They brought everything in their piles down to show us. It was impressive. We did the dance for a little while, and at the end, we had a price we both liked. They gave us another tea after we made the sale! Well done and Bravo on treatment of the customer. We have some friends coming to Istanbul soon, we will be sure to recommend them to your stall.
