Ilyas is a great host and his apartment is awesome: it is clean, located in a quiet place, and you can admire the forested hill in front of the building. Ilyas was always attentive to our questions and replied very quickly. On our last day in Istanbul, we dined together and had a great conversation. He also helped us with the trip to the airport. Both my wife and me, we're glad we stayed at Ilyas' place and we will surely come to him again next time we're visiting Istanbul.
