Mehmet was a excellent host. He was very friendly and very helpful. My luggage was delayed and he offered to help me get it to his place. His place was clean. It was in walking distance to the most important sights such as blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and much more. There are nearby restaurants on the next street over (a little pricey but convenient). There is also convenient stores and shopping on the next street over.
The street is quiet for the most part.
Even though we were there in the winter and the water was nearby, the heater worked great. The air worked as well. It is a nice spot to stay in and I would definitely recommend it. Like others stayed the stairs are narrow and steep so you might have a hard time to get the luggage up but if Mehmet is there and available, he will definitely help you.
The places seems dated but don’t let that stop you. It’s a clean, safe place located near everything. He also provides a taxi, if you can afford it. Do it for less hassle with taxis.
