Meso is a fantastic host and the apartment was perfect for 4! He arranged an airport transfer to and from the Airbnb which was very convenient for us. The beds were comfortable and heating was nice and warm. The location was convenient and you can go to the different areas of Istanbul easily from there, via ferry or tram. It's close to the main shopping street and Galata Tower so if you want to stay around that area, there's plenty to do as well. Would recommend this lodging and I'd happily contact Meso if I'm staying in Istanbul again!
