Our first time stay with Pinar (host) was pretty delightful. We even left a detailed review to help fellow AirBnb guests. However, things didn't go as smooth as we hoped when we decided to rent the place for 40 days after a very short time from our first stay. The communication with Pinar was flawed and not immediate most of the time after we did the second reservation. During our 40 days stay, she communicated once (after 2-3 weeks or so) and the second time was to ask us when we will be checking out.
Since we stayed longer this time, we noticed a few things that we haven't before.
For example, there wasn't enough sets of linens or pillow cases for a long term stay. There was only one fitted sheet for the double bed and we had to wash and dry it in the same day. My husband decided to sleep (again) on the air bag since the double bed in the bedroom was really not wide enough for us. And I bought a mattress pad due to the mattress being on the firmer size. There wasn't enough kitchen supplies to cook for two adults like pans, pots glasses. We had to buy some extra dishes, glasses and pans/pots to be able to cook comfortably during our long term stay. The fridge is really small to be able to stock with a few days worth of cooking supplies so we had to go grocery shopping every other day. Also the bathroom fan/ventilator wasn't fixed though we kindly asked it to be looked at when we first stayed there. So for 2 adults who share a single bathroom, we felt the dire need to have a functioning bathroom ventilator/fan to keep the odors away!The TV has only a few channels and none of them were clear to enjoy. We used our own streaming device not to get bored.
We know that Pinar is a nice and sweet person in general, but our humble advice is to be more appreciative of and attentive to the returning longer term guests. Hopefully with the help of this feedback, her house will be better suited for future guests.
The pro sides of the house was already noted in our previous review. The only important addition would be that A/C worked very well and it was a must in Istanbul's hot weather in June!
