We have been staying a week in Mehmet´s flat. He is a great host. Explained us a lot about what to see, when and how to get there. It seams that the flat is situated in the middle of Istanbul. It is in a walking distance to most places and at the same time there are lots of cosy restaurants etc. just below in the street.
If we ever should consider visiting Istanbul again, I would hesitate to book this flat once again.
Best regard from Denmark
