We had a great time in Istanbul! Kubilay is a really kind and helpful guy. When we needed him, he was always available for information. Besides, we had some really nice chats about Turkey, its culture and his family. The room was nice and clean, the fridge was filled with food and we could take whatever we wanted. The bus to the main sights was a 5 minute walk and there is a nice bakery at the end of the street. Thanks Kubilay for being our host!
