Bilal's place is amazing! Four of us were there for seven days, and we enjoyed Bilal's hospitality and great comfort of the apartment. The neighborhood is full of various restaurants and small stores that work all night long, so you won't ever be hungry or thirsty!
It is located only 2-3 minutes from the street wich leads to Taksim square and also 2-3 minutes from a metro station. You will find this fact quite enjoyable when you consider that most parts of Istanbul have lots ups and downs. So, your legs will thank you for staying at Bilal's place :D
Bilal helped us with directions to his place and tips about good places to visit. He was always quick with responses on Airbnb messages and WhatsApp, which made our lives much easier. Also, he arranged a direct transportation to the airport early in the morning, for a really low price.
We couldn't get a better host and a better place, especially for this money.
I wish Bilal and his family all the best in the future! :)
