My stay in the Bilal's appartment was quite pleasant and comfortable. Host is extremely helpful and considerate, he stayed in touch throughout my stay.
The aparmtment is warm and cozy, suitable for two people but there is a third folding couch by the window.
The apt has a small kitchen and common laundry room which is handy for long-stayers. Wi-Fi is fast and easy to connect to.
Location is good too: 15 minutes walking to reach metro or Galata tower, 3-5 minutes to reach Istiklal Street with all the shops and restaurants. On Saturdays and Sundays there is a local bazaar nearby with fresh vegies and fruits.
I enjoyed my stay and absolutely recommend Bilal as a host.
