Gerrit was the best host imaginable! The apartment itself and the view from all terraces is next level. Much better than any picture can capture! We both have been so many times in Istanbul and never had such a breathtaking view like we had from every corner of the apartment! We felt so at home and had a hard time leaving the apartment every day because wherever we went in Istanbul we didn’t have such a panorama. Gerrit was very attentive and responsive from the moment we booked the place. Me as a specialist in the hotel business can say wholeheartedly that the service he gave us is comparable to a service you could only get in the best 5 star luxury hotels in Europe. That was very suprising for an Airbnb and that’s why I want to give a big compliment to Gerrit especially. We are so happy with the overall hosting that we would stay on our next trip to Istanbul in a heartbeat in the same place. John and Aylin
