Mehmet’s place was everything we needed for our 5 day stay in Istanbul. It is close to many of the monuments and the tram line so sightseeing is easy from there. We like to be self sufficient for most meals and we found small grocery shops and fruit and vegetable shops nearby. The kitchen has just enough cooking utensils for basic meals. The apartment has hydronic heating and seems to have heated floors so we were quite cosy in March when it was a bit colder than usual. The bed was comfortable and the water was hot. There is a taxi stand very close so getting a taxi to the airport was very convenient. Vefa who was on the desk when we were there speaks good English to communication was easy. We would stay there again
