Reviews

• Reviewer: Dmitry

  Comments: Best apparts for that price in Istanbul! I think it should cost much more than now! Very stylish and comfy. Very good location (near Taksim but in very silent environment). Metro station is also easy accessible as well as toons of parking. Mehmet is one of the kindness locals I ever meet. Best regards, Dmitry.

  Comments: Mehmet was always available to communicate with us. The apartment is spacious, clean and equipped. The internet is a bit slow but as we were exploring the city most of the time, it was ok. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Mehmet!

  Comments: The house relieved our weariness of the journey. I'd like to use again. Rooms are spacious, clean, and very confortable. We shared, two bedrooms for women, living room for men. Big sofas are plenty for sleep. Towels are prepared. You can use kitchen, washing machine, and the wi-fi.

  Comments: My best friend and I spent 1 week in this beautiful apartment. Our stay was very good, Mehmet is always available and answer very quickly when you have a question. ( One day the alarm ring, because i did the wrong code and he was there imediately 2min later). The apartment is exactly like the pictures! Large apartment, very clean and well-equipped. There is nothing wrong with the cleanliness, everything was very clean. The apartment located in a pretty street, near the Carrefour, several grocery stores and a bakery (perfect for big shopping and come home). The Carrefour also closed quite late, which helped us several times when we had forgotten something to cook. We just had a little trouble with the Wifi but nothing very serious. Last thing, the rooftop on the fourth floor is perfect to admire the view of Istanbul while having a coffee. I advise you to take this Apartement if you come to Istanbul. Thanks again to Mehmet for his welcome !

  Comments: Mehmet was very nice and always reachable. The apartment was very pretty and located quite central. There is a lot of space, so perfect for a large group. However, we were disappointed in terms of the cleanliness. There were lots of hairs and clipped nails on the floor, on the toilet seat and bathroom in general. It was clearly not cleaned before our arrival. The sheets and towels were changed though. The apartment is great but due to the hygiene i can only rate our stay as okay.

  Comments: The apartment is really as shown in photos and it has a great location close to İstiklal street. Taxis are available from front of the building and public transportation is close to the apartment. Carrefour market is so close to apartment.

• Reviewer: Behzad

  Comments: I’d rather make it short & sweet. This place is the best place that I’ve taken so far in Istanbul. The place was also as we expect it, clean, convenient location and great hospitality. Would highly recommend this place to those who wanna be so close to the center of Taksim.

  Comments: We spend 5 nights from 24 - 29 Aug at Mehmet's place. It was a family trip with my parents, younger brother, wife and our toddler aged 2 years and an infant just 3 months old; the reason I detail our group is to mention how perfect the apartment is for large families. The highlight is the living room which is just like in the photos, well laid out and large - giving us and the kids ample space to spend quality time whilst in the flat. Mehmet as a host has been extremely friendly and supportive - we had a few instances when if it were not for Mehmet's very responsive nature to calls and messages, we would have had a difficult time. Once when my younger brother had fallen ill with very high fever late into the night, I had contacted Mehmet and he immediately provided details of the nearest hospital and also offered to talk to the Taxi driver once we are in the car. What was more personal, was when he cared to check up on my brother the next day and asked how was keeping. We also had an incident when unfortunately my wife's wallet was pickpocketed, and it contained the flat keys. I was quite distressed as the kids were tired and it was at the end of a long day. Just one call, and although Mehmet was in Izmir, within 10 min he had arranged his sister to drop the spare keys to the flat. Thank you very much Mehmet for your prompt support, we really appreciate it and I am delighted I chose a wonderful host. I would strongly recommend Mehmet's flat to future Istanbul visitors, there is a Carrefour market downstairs, the bus stand is just 1 min walk away. One small word of caution, do travel light! The flat is on the third floor or spiralling stairway, on normal days we had no issues at all - guess being a large family trip we came with way too many suitcases - the move in and move out took some energy out of me! :-)

  Comments: Before anything - Mehmet is a great communicator: he immediately shared his (Hidden by Airbnb) number, and we clarified the location, check-in process (as our flights were at awkward hours) and everything. That's great, great hospitality! Mehmet's place is conveniently located near the tourist attractions in İstanbul. After climbing three stairs, you'll find a very secure door letting you into a very spacious apartment with two bedrooms, one kitchen, a bathroom and a huge living room. Only the living room has AC, on the other hand even when it is 35 degrees Celsius outside the AC managed to cool down the whole flat in about 2 hours. Mehmet kindly provides you with clean sheets, towels and various amenities and tips to make you feel home.

  Comments: Location is perfect. Nice and safe neighborhood. 7 min walk from Taksim square. Walkable distance to many other tourist points as well as metro stations. Mehmet’s very responsive and helpful from the get go. Very accommodating and made himself available at all time. One thing I’d recommend is maybe it’s time to fix the bathroom sink faucet. It’s loose and we’re constantly worried it may fall off. Otherwise, everything is great! Highly recommend this place. And will definitely return to Mehmet’s place in the future. Thanks again for the hospitality.

  Comments: Mehmet was there to help check us in and show us around. We thought the place is good for its price, it’s pretty clean with linens and towels and yes large enough for a group of three. Unfortunately we weren’t able to access the balcony in the pictures. But other than that: great stay in a great location!

• Reviewer: Moe

  Comments: Mehmet is a nice host with great communication. The location of the flat is very good. It was also clean and large, better than expected. I would book it again.

• Reviewer: Esfandiar

  Comments: Bästa lokalisationen. Närhet till allt. Vill man se och uppleva det riktiga folklivet i Istanbul ska man inte tveka att bo här. Stor lägenhet med mycket utrymme. Trots att byggnaden är mycket gammal har man fixat till det bra. Superenkelt att checka in/ut. Mehemet var mycket flexibel och hjälpsam när vi fick tillökning av antal gäster från 3 till 4. Internet-anslutningen var mindre bra. Mikrougn saknades om någon undrar.

  Comments: Pros Prime location, very close to all the shops, restaurants and Cafes. Easy access to public transport. Taksim Metro is only 10 minutes walk from the house The apartment is spacious and fairly clean The Host (Mehmet) is very communicative and responds quickly to the messages He helped us to take our luggages upstairs and to book a taxi to the airport. Very Good value for the good price Cons The apartment is on the 3rd/4th floor with alot of steep stairs. It is hard for older people to climb up the stairs and it is hard if you travelling with heavy luggage. My mother clearly was not happy with the stairs. Mehmet was so kind and help us to move our luggages upstairs but we had to bring them all down ourselves on departure. smell of sewerage in the apartment in some occasions , but it was not that bad to handle. You could get rid of it by opening the windows or smoking a nice incense.

• Reviewer: Ceska

  Comments: Me and my friends really enjoyed our time staying at the apartment. For the 5 of us it was very convenient since it is a nice, spacious apartment in a very bubbly area of Istanbul. A lot of things to do from walking distance. Also, Mehmet is very helpful and hospitable! I definitely recommend staying at the apartment and would love to come back again.

• Reviewer: Beatriz

• Reviewer: Serah

  Comments: Mehmet’s place was exactly what my friends and I were looking for. It’s very close to several main areas that you want to visit in Istanbul. The house is spacious and has all the basic necessities. Other than that Mehmet was very responsive and catered to all our requests. He also made sure to set up our drop off at the airport. Would definitely book his place again the next time I visit Istanbul.

  Comments: It was a really good choice to stay at Mehmet. Big flat with comfortable beds, terrace with beautiful views and very good location near to restaraunts, bars, shops and historical places. We were absolutely satisfied with accomodation.

  Comments: Three friends and I went to visit a friend in Istanbul for a week. We stayed in Mehmet’s flat for the 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The flat is very spacious and clean. The furniture is modern and comfortable, including the beds. The kitchen is fully functional and allows for home cooked meals. On top of this, the flat offers several amenities that really make it good value, these include: a roof terrace two floors above, balconies and a sit down shower! The flat is equally very well located with several landmarks such as the Galata tower only a short walk away. The surrounding area is buzzing and necessities such as grocery stores and shops are very close by. My friends and I walked everywhere including to the old town without it ever being painfully long. All in all, I would recommend this flat to anyone coming to visit Istanbul and more. Mehmet is also exceptionally available and quick to respond, which turned out very practical.

  Comments: Apartment was warm and cozy, hot water all the time, large rooms, good Internet. Five minutes walk to Taksim street. Lots of food and grocery stores around the apartment. Very caring and cooperative host. We could not expect more. Definitely a place to stay the next time we visit Istanbul. PS. If you are hesitating due to this apartment being in fourth floor, remember it is the old town Istanbul and literally no new building with elevator is available for AirBnB. For a two weeks stay, it really did not bother us and coming from a new house, we specifically enjoyed the building old classic character a lot!
