Hi,
I am just sitting in the airport in London on my way home from Istanbul. We arrived in Istanbul 5 days ago.
Originally we had booked accommodation for our full trip in another place. The place we had gotten was very bad and we had to leave after staying our first night; at 10pm the next day we had found Rodi's place and we booked with himself and his brother. They were so good to allow us to check in so late at night.
The place was exactly how it is described - clean, comfortable, affordable, great location, cosy.
Honestly, I felt so happy when I arrived coming from where we were supposed to be staying. Rodi was so kind and friendly. He gave us some recommendations for where to head out in the area. Super duper friendly! The beds were so comfortable!
If we had of stayed in our original place for the total duration of our trip. I really don't think I would have had a good impression on Istanbul. Rodi's place saved my holiday.
I'm just going to put it simply:
Previous place I wanted to be out of the accommodation as long as I could and avoided going back to it as very dirty and uncomfortable.
But.....
Rodi's place = i was looking forward to coming back to accommodation to get into bed and the lovely fresh sheets.
I want to say thank you Rodi. I will be back and will stay when I return to Istanbul. I wish you all the best.
