Mehmet is a great host. The communication was always very smooth with him. We were denied boarding for the plane we planned to fly with due to overbooking. We told him about this and he was very understanding. He made sure we got a taxi to take us from the airport to the apartment, that we get the apartment keys very late at night and he even brought us 2 bottles of water when we asked for some since the tap water is not very healthy in Istanbul. Mehmet offered us some sightseeing tours, checked if the hot air balloon offer we got in Cappadocia was a good one and even helped us find the perfect boat tour in Istanbul. Whenever we had a question, he was there for us with an answer. He’s been the perfect host and we can only recommend staying at his place.
With regards to the apartment, you get exactly what you see in the pictures, the bathroom has a heater with towels on it, so when you take a shower, the towels are like a warm blanket, it’s a very nice detail. The view from the apartment is very interesting, as well.
