Mehmet is AWESOME! He was such a great host. He provided us with lots of great tips to get around the city and the was a charm to be around. His apartment was exactly like the picture. We are neat freaks and it exceeded our expectations. We left Istanbul with a new friend. Mehmet is a 5 star host and went above and beyond, he even mailed out postcards for us that we didn't have time to take to the post office before our flight. Great guy, great place to stay.
