I and my wife had a very pleasant stay in Istanbul for 7 nights. During that time, Kubilay had been very friendly and helpful.

As a host, Kubilay is a perfect one. He took care of us during our stay. He picked us up from the shuttle-stop, helping me in carrying our luggage, providing the Istanbul card, the maps, and so many information about that beautiful city. He also spent his time as a guide, showing the Suleymaniye Mosque and a very nice terrace for some tea and dinner. He gave clear information about the simplest way to reach destination.

He is also a very nice guy with warm hospitality. We sometimes spent time talking about cultural things in our countries. With such warmth, I consider him a very good friend.

Regarding his apartment, it is a good one. What we saw are the facilities better than what is described in the airbnb page. It is a very clean and nice apartment. The location is near the bus station, makes it very easy to reach various destinations. More importantly, it is a very safe location. I felt very comfortable walking to his apartment even in the late evening.

Finally, in summary, I would recommend him as a host. If I would have a chance to visit Istanbul again, I would like to stay in his apartment again.
