Flew to Istanbul to backpack the country and found Mehmets place perfect. I ended up staying an additional day and I shared a room with a friend. Very clean first and foremost. Second, love the location! It was close to everything that I needed so no complaints. Check-in was very easy and Mehmet made it super easy. Felt safe always and I would very much recommend. Soap and shampoo are provided, heater is in the room & shower is modern and clean. All you need to enjoy Istanbul!
