Mehmet is extremely friendly and a fantastic host, who didn't hesitate to welcome us at his flat so late as 1:00 in the morning due to the late arrival of our flight, and give us plenty of useful information about the flat, the area, and Istanbul. The flat is very conveniently located, and very calm, although in a very lively neighbourhood. It was perfect for us (a group of 4 friends). We highly recommend Mehmet as a host and his flat as an excellent base to explore the great city of Istanbul.
