My husband and I have been traveling full-time for 8 years and have stayed in over 275 Airbnbs and we've added Serdar's place to our top 10! The place is clean, stylish, comfortable, and in a really great location. Everything works well, the bed is comfortable, the shower is good, and the place looks even better than the beautiful photos. But our five-star recommendation goes beyond the physical space. In this case, the hosts are some of the finest we've ever had. Their hospitality starts at the airport! They give detailed instructions on taking a taxi to their place and provide an audio message to play for the driver with details. They also ask to access your location while you are heading their way to make sure the driver doesn't take you "the long way". Then there are pictures of the building entrance and where the key is hidden and how to get in (easy once you find the front door) and after you step into this beautiful apartment, you'll find a nice bottle of wine waiting. Selcuk was our contact and he was stellar. We had a few little issues that were resolved instantly. And he was quick to answer any questions we had about our time in Istanbul. At the end of our stay, he arranged for a taxi to pick us up and take us to the airport. We had coffee together, and we feel we've made a new friend in Istanbul. We will definitely stay here again - or maybe we'll try one of the other fabulous listings this host has. They all look great, and we know we'll be well taken care of! The Senior Nomads.
