Mahmud has been a great host, responsive to our needs and easy to deal with. He is very polite and helpful. The house with four bedrooms, each having en suite bathrooms was perfect for our family of eight. The living space allowed us to gather and chill. The location, a few minutes walk to the main sites of the historic Istanbul was great. There were several restaurants with good local food and groceries a few meters from the residence. I fully recommend Mahmud's accommodation.
