My stay at Malik’s place was incredible.. i felt safe as a solo traveler.. i felt at home but i had all my privacy at the same time.. he came to pick me up from the airport shuttle bus station and held my heavy luggage twice.. he was so welcoming.. his home is clean .. location is just amazing in the center of everything.. in a quiet decent area with lots of hotels there .. a lot of grocery stores, exchange and all the shops you gonna need is around you without having to go to istiklal street .. taksim square is just 3 mins from his home and all the transportation you gonna need is there .. don’t hesitate to book this place and enjoy your stay in Istanbul..
