The apartment is absolutely amazing, it has a wonderful mixture of Western and Ottoman styles in it. It has everything you wish or need during a stay in a large city as Istanbul. The neighbourhood is quite traditional, which is beautiful to experience, but within 5 minutes you are surrounded by a variety of shops in Istiklal Street. Mehmet is a great host; very caring and hospitable, he really wants you to have a wonderful time in his city. The best thing about the apartment is the feeling of 'being at home', with its warm atmosphere, all the utilities and the rich look.
