I went and stayed at Mehmet's place with two other friends and was incredibly happy because we got a 2 bedroom apartment that was SPOTLESS, convenient to everything we wanted to see (we could walk to Galata/walk across the Galata bridge to Sultanhamet, and to Taksim Square), and Mehmet was an outstanding host. When the power went out briefly, Mehmet was immediately at our door with candles to make sure that we had light. When we needed a ride to the airport at the last minute he made sure we had a car to get us there at a price that was very reasonable.

I have to say that the experience was fabulous and if he'll have us again, we will all stay at Mehmet's apartments!
