We had a great stay with Mehmet. Everything is exactly as listed. Mehmet has obviously gone to as much effort as possible to combat the challenges of the area (close to nightclubs) - and the noise was very reasonable with the soundproofing.
The apartment is as per the photos. Cute and rustic and in a great location just off the main shopping street (Istiklal).
Walking distance to cool neighbourhoods such as Cihangir (5 mins) and Karaköy, and walking distance to the ferry to get over to the Asian side.
Overall good value and a great base for exploring Istanbul. Mehmet is very responsive and accommodating. Thank you for having us! 🙏
