From the moment we arrived in Istanbul to the moment we left, Mehmet and his brother ensured that we had the most comfortable of stays. He arranged our pickup from and drop off to the airport, and even allowed us to check out late. He was an incredibly gracious host and periodically checked in on us to see how our stay in Istanbul was going. Though there is a scaffolding outside the balcony window partially blocking the view of the Sea of Marmara, his apartment still commands an impressive vista. Best of all, the studio is located within walking distance to all the historic sites of Sultanahmet. We could not have chosen a more ideal apartment and will surely stay with him again on our next trip to Istanbul.
