I spent a quiet week with my 4 children in Mehmet apartment. The neighborhood is very friendly and close to shops and Istiklal street. Easily, you can take a taxi or a bus from the area and if you walk to Taxim square, you can take the Metro. Mehmet was very positive person and answers mobile calls and communication quickly. The apartment is fully equipped and has an AC. If I go back again to Istanbul, I will take Mehmet's apartment.
