Rabia sounds very nice and welcoming but the truth is he lied to us from the beginning.
I communicated with Rabia through Airbnb to make sure the apartment is available and ready to move into.
He told me, welcome, welcome, we are friends!
I then went ahead and booked it.
He kept us away for 8 hours from the time we were supposed to check in.
He then told us the apartment will be ready at midnight. Midnight came and went and eventually at 4am the next morning he let us check in.
When we arrived at the apartment the previous guest were still there with all their washing hanging on doors and some suitecases in the middle of the floor.
He told us to wait a few more hours with the guests until they leave for their flight and he will come back at 11am to clean the apartment.
This was unacceptable and we left and booked into a hotel at 5am eventually.
This is a dishonest man.
He should not be allowed to list his properties on Airbnb.
I have been a member of Airbnb for 5 years and i have never had any issues so far until Istanbul.
