We had a fantastic stay at Mehmet's place. The flat is neat and tidy and within 7-8 walking distance to different modes of public transport. The locality itself feels very authentic and there are several cafes/restaurants around which offers great food at relatively low prices and lovely conversations.
Mehmet is a very fine host. He made our check-in experience seamless and stayed in contact to ensure we were comfortable throughout. Would certainly like to stay at the flat again when we eventually visit Istanbul the next time.
