Janice and Bulent’s home is very near to Istanbul IST airport (15 mins by car). We spent 1 night at their home. They stay there with their 2 small dogs (Spunky and Chelsea) and one cat (Marvis).
Bulent had always been quick to respond to our messages on AirnBnb app. Pick up and drop off facility offered by Janice and Bulent is a blessing. Bulent had shared his photo in advance on AirBnb app. We arrived quite late (10:30 PM) at Istanbul airport. Bulent was right there, wearing red tee shirt (as informed us with his picture), waiting for us at the exit gate. Bulent picked us up and and on the way to his home, he showed us nearby supermarkets, restaurants, bus stops etc. Room was warm and cozy. We had a good night sleep.
Next day, we were offered with light breakfast (eggs, cheese, jam, bread, cucumber, tomato). We had access to whole kitchen. Bulent lent us his Istanbul card which needs to be swiped in all public transportations. That evening, Janice dropped us back to airport.
Honestly Janice and Bulent were very wonderful hosts. They were very friendly and made us feel right at home. Janice and Bulent provided us lots of details of Turkish culture, food, people etc. As a AirBnb host, they really surpassed our expectations!
