I enjoyed meeting Abdullah and Delanna. Both were nice and easy to speak to.
The room was clean and actually bigger than I expected from the pictures. It was very quiet at night and one of the best night's sleep I've had in Istanbul. Child Park is a short walk away with an amazing sunset. Lots of grocery stores and restaurants close by.
I was a long term stay and unfortunately I had to leave within a couple days because I could see this stay was not going to work out for me.
Abdullah was understanding and I had no issue through Airbnb to update my booking and get a refund. I put my experience down largely to timing
As I said, I really liked hosts and I think if you're not trying to work remotely (rely on good wifi) and spending a lot of time out and about (and not in the kitchen) this might be right for you. I will not list my issues here out of respect but I have communicated them to hosts to hopefully be remedied.
Their son is just over year old, adorable and very friendly.
The communal areas were a lot more untidy than the pictures which was unfortunate as it was the only place I could get stable wifi. Cat food on the dinning table (not in pictures) made it hard to work from here too.
I didn't want to write a review but felt I should for other long stayers like me given the inconvenience it cause me.
