We've been to Istanbul 4 times now and by far, this was the best place we've ever stayed at. Our flight got delayed but the host, Mehmet, was waiting for us and he even brought us some food. He is a very helpful and hospitable person, always available if needed. We even got the chance to try his homemade cheese rolls.
The house is spacious and clean with a nice greenery view. The neighborhood is safe with lots of cafes and supermarkets.
The location is just perfect, very close to the bus stop and the tram. We were able to get anywhere from there.
I definitely recommend Mehmet's place if you want to have the full Istanbul experience.
