I was a bit afraid to go to Istambul alone, but thanks to Kubilay I enjoyed my stay there. He is very hospitable, sociable, always ready to answer any questions and give advice.
The house is very spacious and warm, with all necessary equipment, and the atmosphere is so that I felt like at home)
You will need about 30-40 minutes to go to the centre of Istambul by bus, keep it in mind when you plan your trip.
But though it is a bit far from the centre, there are advantages too. The house is situated in the district for locals, not for tourists. So you can buy cheap food there. You can find locum for 6 lira/kilo, cheap nuts and other turkish delights. There are also local shops near the house with good quality cotton clothes, underwear, tights etc.
Definitely recommend this host! Thank you very much for your hospitality!
