We had fantastic stay at Mehmet’s place. His apartment was clean, spacious, and equipped with many modern fixtures, including medium-large flat screen TV with Netflix and local Turkish channels, fridge and freezer, really nice bathroom and shower, and reliable heating system for colder winter months (probably functions as an AC too for hot months). Also loved the wooden floors and nice small balcony next to the bedroom overlooking the backyards of the neighborhood. It’s in a very calm and quiet neighborhood that felt very safe and full of cute cafes, restaurants, and cool antique / vintage shops. Felt very local and chill yet close enough for a cab ride to Sultanahmet or Taksim. Only thing I would mention is 3 flights of stairs to get to the apartment. That wasn’t an issue for us though.
