This was my very first Airbnb experience and Kubilay had made it amazing. The apartment is situated in a lovely residential neighborhood where buses run frequently downtown (approx. 20 minutes journey time to Taksim/Eminonu).
The room provided was spacious and clean and we were constantly reminded by Kubilay to treat the whole apartment as our own! He knows Istanbul inside out and provided us with all the sightseeing tips.
Kubilay is truly polite, kind and intelligent and I've had the pleasure to exchange certain ideas and views with him. On my last night in Istanbul, Kubilay brought me to Pierre Loti and the views were absolutely splendid.
