Our stay with Kubliay was really great.He gave us detailed directions of how to get from the airport to taksim. He then came to pick us up personally and took time off from work to get us and accompany us home and get settled. The room was clean and comfortable and every morning he left us fruit and sweets for breakfast. Kubilay was a very kind and caring host. He checked in regularly with us, gave us an Istanbul bus card, and gave us ideas of places to visit. He even accompanied us twice on visits in the town to very beautiful places in ortokoy and sultan ahmet. My mother and I really appreciated kubilay's kindness and stay. The location, while about 30-40 minutes away from Istanbul by bus, is a very animated and non touristic neighborhood that gives you an idea of real Turkish lives. We have fond memories of Gaziosmapasa and our stay with Kubilay!
