This is the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. I’ve stayed in several private rooms and entire places. Farah’s place is in a great part of Istanbul, and I was even able to work/take video calls in the common space. I enjoyed socializing with her friends that came by, but I definitely had the freedom to be secluded in my room if that’s your preference. Her cat is the friendliest I’ve met in my life. I’m by no means a cat person, but I might reconsider that stance after my stay.
