Kaya is a spectacular AirBnB host.
I have been to many AirBnB accommodations around the world and the hospitality and care Kaya consistently shows all his guests is above and beyond the call of duty and certainly my personal expectations. He was prompt with communications, was able to come up with solutions to any problems or concerns I had whilst I was there and implemented them speedily. For instance, Kaya helped carry our heavy suitcases up the stairs and into the flat, he helped us get local phone SIM cards, took us on a walking tour of the area and showed us where the best places were to eat. We arrived in the summer and it was hot... Kaya immediately brought us a large fan. I needed a place to take professional studio photographs... Kaya had instant recommendations. On my last day the hot water was not working... within less than 10 minutes of my calling him it was fixed.
He is also kind, friendly, helpful and perhaps most importantly as a host, extremely reliable and professional, which as a guest in a foreign country is really reassuring. Kaya also speaks excellent English... for all you non-Turkish speaking guests out there, like myself).
I have never written such a detailed AirBnB review before but felt compelled to because this host was exceptional.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the comfortable accommodation in an excellent location at the heart of Kadikoy with a superb host. Thank you, Kaya! We will be sure to come back again next time we visit Istanbul.
