Mehmet has a great apartment in a very central neighborhood in Istanbul. We throughly enjoyed our stay here. Even though we weren't able to meet him in person, he was very communicative and helped us with any questions that we had a in a timely manner. He even spoke to our taxi driver to provide exact instructions to his apartment from the airport! The apartment has great views, and the neighborhood has tons of great coffee spots and restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner (along with a convenience store). The neighborhood is quiet, safe and pleasant. Highly recommend!
