I stayed at Mesut's apartment for two weeks in April of 2021. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Mesut's apartment. Here are some pros and cons to keep in mind.
Pros:
-Mesut was an excellent host that always responds in a few minutes. He tried his best to accommodate us.
-The neighborhood is safe but a but busy and noisy during the day, which I don't mind at all.
-The apartment is in prime location, which is about a 10 walk to taksim square. You can find lot's of food and groceries options in less than 2 minutes walk. I particularly enjoyed Enistenin Yari Kebab place and Ali Food Shop.
Cons:
-The apartment is in the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. It's not too bad, but if you have a lot of luggage like me, then it will be a nightmare to carry all the luggage.
- The apartment needs a little more cleaning. It wasn't in a bad condition but it could be better. I I wish there was a vacuum cleaner.
We loved staying at Mesut's apartment and we would definitely come back when we visit istanbul again. So, my feedback was mainly to give my fellow airbnbian a heads up of what to expect.
