I stayed in Mustafa's place for 7 nights. I rated this place low because I had several issues which made me to talk to my host for several days during my holiday time and made my trip to Istanbul stressful.
I couldn't check in the first night, which was terrible and I had to go to another place, also the linings and bedding stuff are not clean and are very very old. I had to buy my own. For more details read my story here:
At the check in time I informed my host that my plane has delay and I am going to arrive at 10 pm, he replied as it's self check in there are no limits, which wasn't completely true. The main door is closed after midnight. So based on his text, I decided to have dinner before going home, I arrived 2 am and I couldn't check in!!!!!! On top of that, since he was traveling abroad, his phone number was out of service, and the emergency number he sent me was incorrect there was a digit missing.
I was lucky that I had family living in Istanbul so I contacted them to pick me up, but this is unacceptable and very irresponsible.
When I asked for the first nights refund Mustafa immediately agreed on that but offered to send less than what I paid, and also not through Airbnb. I didn't feel comfortable and I continued through Airbnb which went ok.
Second night when I want to go to bed, I realized that there are hair and wholes in bed linings. There where no clean or organized duvet covers or pillow cases available.
I contacted the number I had, and the lady who helped me was really rude in my opinion because she said this is not a 5 star hotel, it's a Airbnb home and the price is low because equipments are old!!
This is not an acceptable excuse, as a host they must have a clean, stainless linings available in a place that the guest recognises these are clean and usable. They weren't even folded.
Mustafa was the same, even though that I send him photos of the situation, he said I can't accept that the covers are not clean because the cleaning lady left in the morning you arrived. For me it is accusing me of lying which I do not tellorate.
I bought my own beddings and used than while I was there.
Mustafa invited me for a breakfast and tried to make things right, I didn't accept because I was there for family time and I spent so much time on fixing the issues already.
So over all, the place is not terrible, but don't expect much because based on several conversations I had, the host believes they are offering more than what you paid for.
I would not book this place again for sure and won't recommend it too.
