Mehmet's place was exactly what we hoped it to be - a home away from home. In the heart of the bustling Besiktash neighborhood, the apartment has everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Cozy, well-furnished, and spotless clean. Mehmet is a wonderful host - friendly, responsive within minutes, very good command of English. He even made the extra effort to find us a SPA place to relax outside of Istanbul when our level of Turkish proved to be a challenge. We stayed for 10 days at his place and will recommend it to anyone who wishes to have an amazing vacation in Istanbul.
