Mehmet's flat was in a good location quite close to Taksim (about 10 minute walk). The apartment was clean and the rooms were of good sizes. Mehmet made sure that we were able to check in when we arrived at 11pm and also allowed us to stay a little longer than checkout time as our flight home was late in the evening. Mon was great and carried our bags up to the flat when we arrived which was appreciated. My only concern would be that there are no elevators to get to the 4th floor flat which was a problem for young children and my grandmother, especially in during summer in Istanbul. However, if I was to return to Istanbul with friends, I would definitely stay here again.
