I was the first guest of Mehtap and did not really what to expect from a host with no experience, but it was definitely one of the best Airbnb experiences I‘ve ever had: quick reaction to our questions, clear answers, flexible check in (we arrived very early in the morning), very clean room, bathroom and kitchen. We could use everything there and were feeling like at home.
A very big living room was our favorite place for chilling evenings with a glas of tea or local drinks.
We were for the first time in Istanbul, knowing nearly nothing about the country, and Mehtap and her sister Merve introduced us the local culture and Kadiköy - one of the most cozy and safe parts of the city, with lots of restaurants, cafes, bars, artist shops and full of street art.
Mehtap‘s location is highly recommended for open minded, interested and curious people.
