The pictures really don't do the place justice - it's ten times more gorgeous in real life!
The apartment is beautiful, more than enough space for two people with a bedroom, a study, two bathrooms and a living room. The kitchen is small but you'll find everything you need.
From the bedroom window you can see the Süleymanye Mosque and the Galata Tower is barely a one-minute walk away. There are plently of restaurants and cafés nearby as well as a little supermarket. The nearest Tram station is only a few minutes by foot and from there you can go to Sultanahmed, the Grand Bazaar and other places you might want to see.
Mehmet has been very friendly and quick to respond.
We absolutely loved out stay at his place and we'll definitely be back for a second time!
