This was my second time staying in one of Mehmet's airbnbs. The building is beautiful, modern and super clean. The bed is comfortable, shower pressure is great, and the neighborhood is quiet. I am a woman traveling alone and felt very safe in general except for some ominous warnings from taxi drivers to be careful at night in the neighborhood. The apartment is a 5 minute walk from major bus stations that will take you to Sultanemet, Beyoglu and Karakoy which is super convenient because there were a few times during rush hour when taxi/ubers refused to drive me back to Balat. I will definitely come back again and stay with Mehmet.
