Everything was fine in Mesut's apartment, he made us feel very confortable, with everything ready for our (late) arrival. He even phoned us during our taxi transfer from the airport, to help the driver find his place.
It is well situated, Taksim square and its commodities are just a few meters away. The apartment is very clean, comfy and convenient.
Our two kids and us spent a very nice week in Istanbul, thanks to Mesut, and thanks to this wonderful city of course.
