I stayed here for about a week which was last minute. Mehmet bey responds very quickly which is definitely a plus. The home on the second+ floor is very neat, updated and accommodating for 3+ people. Very clean. It cools perfectly in the summer. Parking is available on the street which was another plus, although you might have to move it every so often to accommodate other residents on the block. It’s so close to Karakoy, Eminonu, and Taksim. You can find any cuisine near by for a profitable price. There is delicious Turkish cheesy borek literally downstairs of the apartment incase you need some breakfast/lunch ideas. Banks and currency exchange shops are so close by. Wifi was still in works progress during my stay so make sure to ask Mehmet bey about it incase you need it. I had international service so it was not a major deal for me. Make sure to have a deposit of euro with you since his appliances are all new. Security means everything to him. Don’t be surprised. You will sign papers off before and after your stay in regards to this with a thorough investigation. As long as you are good, there should not be a problem. With that being said, I highly recommend!!
