If you are looking for a review that will convince you to stay at this apartment look no further. My five friends and I stayed at his fantastic apartment during the military coup. Our flights got canceled and he offered to have us for an extra two days free of charge. I insisted on paying him but he again refused. His generosity and kindness during our stay was unlike anything I have ever experienced. Mahmud was very knowledgable with the area and had many recommendations. The location is fantastic and very safe. I promise you won't regret picking Mahmud's apartment as a great place to stay during your time in Istanbul. Thank you for everything Mahmud, I look forward to staying at your apartment when I return.
