Mehmet was a great host. He was easy to communicate with before we arrived, met us, showed us the apartment and sat with us a good while with a map of Istanbul, giving great tips. The apartment was in an excellent location, 'very chic', with delicious cheap food around the corner and literally within walking distance of many Istanbul sights. The apartment was clean, with towels and bedding, lots of wardrobe space, cooking facilities etc.- 4 of us fit comfortably in it. Mehmet was an endearing character who kept in contact thoughout our stay to make sure everything was alright. Highly recommended!!!
