Hilal is a very hospitable host, during my one month stay, she always tried to help and responded my messages quickly. The room is enough for one person with basic facilities, and the kitchen is well equipped, which is perfect for whom’d like to cook. The house is located in a very quiet neighborhood but very close to the public transportation, so you can get to the other parts of the city easily. All in all, I recommend to stay at Hilal’s place either for short or long stay when visiting Istanbul.
