We were not able to stay with Yusuf due to an unexpected plumbing issue from his previous guests, but he went above and beyond to accommodate us. We were in Istanbul for only one night, and his other rooms were all full which is a great sign. He got us a place in the same area, compensated for our transportation from the airport, greeted us with tea and pastries, and treated us to a private Turkish bath experience. He could have given us a refund since our booking was unavailable, but preferred to meet us and to ensure we had a positive experience. He is a wonderful person and a lovely host with many returning customers from around the world. I would absolutely recommend staying with him. Plus the Airbnb/Cube Suites are really stylish, staffed 24 hours, and walking distance from many historic sites. We will absolutely book with Yusuf next time we are in Istanbul, and we will plan a longer stay at his place.
