Welcome to my home!
My apartment is perfectly located in the heart of Taksim and Beyoğlu, one of Istanbul’s most vibrant and exciting neighborhoods. You’ll be surrounded by famous landmarks, restaurants, cafés, nightlife, shopping streets, and many popular venues within the LGBTQ+ community, all just a short walk away.
One of my favorite things about living here is how incredibly convenient the location is. The metro station is right next to the apartment, and almost every major public transportation option is within easy reach, allowing you to explore every corner of Istanbul with ease.
I created this space to feel like a true home away from home. The apartment includes a fully equipped open kitchen where you can cook your favorite meals, as well as a washing machine so you can comfortably do your laundry during your stay. These little comforts are especially helpful if you’re traveling on a budget or planning a longer visit.
Whether you’re here to discover Istanbul’s rich history, experience its vibrant culture, enjoy the nightlife, or simply relax, I hope my home becomes part of your best travel memories. Feel free to invite your friends and enjoy the space together while respecting the apartment and the neighbors.
As your host, I’ll always be available if you need recommendations, local tips, or any assistance. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, welcome, and safe from the moment you arrive until the day you leave.
Thank you so much for considering my home. Your support truly means a lot to me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to host wonderful people from all around the world. I look forward to meeting you and hope you’ll have an unforgettable stay in Istanbul.
See u soon❤ XOXO🤟🏼

My apartment is located in the heart of Taksim and Beyoğlu, the center of Istanbul’s LGBTQ+ nightlife and culture. Most of the city’s best-known LGBTQ+ bars, clubs, cafés, drag shows, and social venues are within walking distance. The lively streets around Taksim Square, İstiklal Avenue, and Cihangir offer a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for LGBTQ+ travelers from around the world.
Nearby you’ll find popular LGBTQ+ venues such as Love Dance Point, TekYön Club, Bigudi Club, Chianti Pub, Stay Club, and several friendly bars and cafés that host themed nights, drag performances, karaoke, and weekend parties. The area is also full of gay-friendly restaurants, coffee shops, boutique stores, gyms, and wellness centers.
Within just a few minutes, you can also reach Galata Tower, Karaköy, Cihangir, Galataport, Tophane, Kabataş, Dolmabahçe Palace, and the Bosphorus waterfront. The famous Istiklal Avenue—with hundreds of restaurants, cafés, bakeries, shopping streets, museums, art galleries, and nightlife venues—is right on your doorstep.
The metro station, funicular, buses, taxis, and ferry connections are all nearby, making it easy to explore Sultanahmet, the Grand Bazaar, Balat, Kadıköy, Nişantaşı, Beşiktaş, and the rest of Istanbul without hassle.
Whether you’re visiting for Pride events, nightlife, culture, sightseeing, or simply looking for an LGBTQ+-friendly neighborhood where you can feel comfortable and safe, Taksim and Beyoğlu are among the best places to stay in Istanbul. I’d also be happy to recommend my favorite local spots, hidden gems, restaurants, cafés, and nightlife during your visit.
Hello everyone, I want you to know that I would be happy to host you in my home and that we will be great friends. You are welcome to host friends you trust, if you wish. However, I would like to agree that this will not be a long-term stay. I also have a cat at home. Her comfort, safety, and health are more important to me than anything else. I hope you are an animal lover. You can comfortably stay in this house and move about as freely as if it were your own. Most of my neighbors, both gay and straight, are queer-conscious. You are free and comfortable in this regard. As long as you treat my belongings and my house as if it were your own, I can assure you that we can reach an agreement.

For my first misterb&b stay, Khalil knocked it out of the park with his hospitality. Great communication, warm and friendly, and we even got to spend some time together walking around the city. Not only did he share his home, but his food as well. The place is small but cozy, and it's literally a 2 minute walk from Taksim Square in one of the most central neighborhoods. Happy to recommend Khalil's place for solo travelers looking to experience Istanbul with an amazing local. Teşekkür ederim, Khalil. ❤
Staying here felt less like booking accommodation and more like staying with a friend. Khalil is an incredible host, he's friendly and welcoming and he instantly makes you feel right at home. The location is in the heart of everything, making it super convenient to explore Istanbul. I completely recommend staying here to anyone planning a trip.
I had a wonderful stay with Halil and would definitely recommend him: From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcome ☺ He and his friends were incredibly kind and hospitable, and we even shared a lovely meal together... The apartment was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and in a perfect location. Thank you for your warmth and hospitality! I hope to see you again one day! Cheers
Very nice place to stay, the apartment has all the necessities and is very close to the Taksim square. Halil is a lovely guy who is always ready to help and share a meal every now and then.
It was such a wonderful experience staying at Halil's flat in this magical city. The location is absolutely perfect, and the apartment is incredibly clean and comfortable. Halil is also very professional, helpful, and responsive.
Halil is a so special and lovely guy, I won't forget this stay with him. He made everything to make feel at home. With his tips I had the opportunity to know parts of Istambul I've never had been. I also had an enormous delay when arriving due to airport situation in Italy but he kindly waited for me at home. His place is very easy to reach, just a few steps from Taksim sq., absolutely the best location to be in Istambul. The apartment is clean and confortable. I really recommend to stay there, and Halil became a friend forever. ❤
Kahil was very attentive and showed me around town for my short stay. The apartment is conveniently located near the Metro system and gay bars so it is a perfect spot to explore the city and lgbtq scene. As a masseur he provided excellent service and would highly recommend booking him if you are looking for a massage while in Istanbul. The place had all basic necessities and the bed was comfortable for a good night sleep. Will certainly stay at his place if in town again!
It was just a short stay but I would have loved to stay longer. Halil was super welcoming and helpful, and his cat Selin is lovely too. After a very long flight it was just what I needed.
Halil was the perfect host. Kind and considerate. He made himself available for my arrival and showed me around the apartment. He was very friendly and offered hints and tips where to go. He even shared a meal with me. The bed is comfortable and entire place is clean and tidy. The cat is absolutely adorable and was the star of the show. I arrived as a stranger but am leaving a friend.
Halil is an incredibly friendly host with a lovely apartment. I greatly enjoyed his warm welcome and recommendations on what to do while in Istanbul. Book your stay in Istanbul with this sweet man!
