The best host we’ve ever had. GPS took us to the wrong spot. Mahmut and Nisa walked so far out of their way to come get us and guide us to the apartment. They then took us out to dinner and showed us around town after. It was wonderful.
Google translate was used for the entire evening but it made for a fun and interesting interaction.
The apartment is clean. The bed is comfortable. We had no issues sharing the bathroom. Their cat is incredibly friendly and we didn’t mind having to walk 20+ minutes into town for a meal. It was a great first impression of Istanbul and I hope to meet Nisa and Mahmut again some day.
