My family and I (including two young children) had a wonderful two-month stay at Ilhan's place. The location is fantastic: it's just minutes to shops and malls, yet it still feels like a refuge from the bustle of the city with its private yard/garden and big trees. Across the street there's a great gym and swimming pool, as well as a Starbucks. Inside the house there was plenty of space for everyone, and the kitchen was very well equipped. Everything we needed was there for an extremely comfortable stay.
Ilhan's hosting was first-rate. His communication and support was prompt, and he went out of his way to help us when an unexpected situation arose. When we were out in the city and lost our house key, he arranged for another one to be delivered to us within minutes - and on a major Turkish public holiday. Kind and generous, he is one of the best Airbnb hosts I have engaged with.
In my view, this stay was a great reminder of the kind of real human experiences and connections that Airbnb, when at its best, can help facilitate. I would absolutely recommend Ilhan's place and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
