We had a wonderful time at Mehmet's place. He checked in on us throughout the trip and answered any and all questions we had. We wanted to be able to cook breakfast, and unlike many of the other listing which claim to have supplies, but when you read reviews don't even have pans, there was a full range of kitchen supplies here. There was also a washing machine and large fridge. It is right across from the Four Seasons hotel, which has doormen 24/7, so you feel extremely safe. You can also head over there for a great meal and beautiful views in there garden restaurant. The best part is the location. I was warned not to stay in the Sultanahmet area because it can be noisy, but it was very quiet. It was also EXTREMELY close to all the major sites. It was great because we could go do an activity, come home relax, and go right back out without losing time. We will be staying again on our next trip to Istanbul!
