We stayed at Mehmet's place for 12 days and it felt really like Home! Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to meet Mehmet personally as he was not in the city during our stay but we got the keys from the doorman. He couldn't speak english but was very friendly and showed us everything we needed to know like WiFi conection, etc. Mehmet replies very quickly and keeps everything simple, which is wonderful :)
The Apartment is located in a very central area near to Taksim (10 min. Walk) and Nisantasi (lovely neighborhood with beautiful streets, restaurants and boutiques). There is a bus station just in front of the house and the busses take you almost to everywhere :) Supermarkets, restaurants and cafes, all very close to the apartment.
The kitchen is equipped with all the things you need, glasses, cutlery, big fridge, lots of plates, electric kettle (no coffee maker) everything basic but absolutely enough.
The living room is very cozy, a little noisy but if you close the windows, it would be ok.
There is also a lift in the house, which is very useful.
All in all everything in the flat was exactley like Mehmet described in the Ad. We definitely recommend this place for a comfortable stay in Istanbul and Mehmet as the host. Thank you Mehmet for making our family trip to Istanbul so comfortable!
