Although Mehmet was not in the country the day we arrived in Istanbul, he made arrangements with a friend who we were able to meet with at the address and receive keys from. This went extremely smoothly despite my phone behaving badly and not letting me get in touch with Mehmet's friend! The flat was located in the heart of Beyoglu and made for a perfect base from which to explore the city. We were only a short walk away from dozens of brilliant restaurants, and close to well-connected public transport stops that allowed us to travel to the areas with popular tourist attractions. Mehmet's communication was helpful and he was always quick to respond, which brought my family and I some peace of mind after our previous attempt at finding an apartment went badly. Book with Mehmet for a satisfying stay in one of the best cities I've had the pleasure of visiting.
