Kubilay is a great host, he came to pick us from the local square, he is very friendly and polite person, he helped us to get around the city and we also went out for a dinner. The apartment is great, just as it looks on the pictures (new, clean, spacious, equipped...). It is located in the center of the neighborhood and everything you need is around (like McDonalds, banks, bakeries, shops, public bus station, the square...). The neighborhood (in my opinion) is one of the best in Istanbul, close to the center of Istanbul and yet not too crowded, with free parking places around. I would definitely choose this place again. I am sorry that my stay was short so i wasn't able to hang out more with Kubilay, but i thank him and hope to see him again!
