While traveling during a very difficult and unique time Malik has been a perfect host.
I highly recommend his Airbnb. You're not only paying for a fantastic location, you're also paying for an exceptional experience. I do wish I got to meet more people that were staying here, but Malik is a perfect person to make your stay in Istanbul and Turkey exceptional.
He will help with local tips, give you ideas on places to go you might not have thought about and challenge you to some great philosophical conversations if that interests you.
Great place to stay for the value, location, and host.
