We stayed at Emrah for 2 months while in Istanbul. We had the best time ever.
The place - Exactly like the pictures. Clean, updated, and very comfortable. It is up a few flights of stairs FYI but we didn't mind. Great area, close to supermarkets, restaurants and more. Walk a few steps to just about all the shopping you need. We walked to everything. Walked to the mall for shopping, food, movie, gaming, and the metro. The metro takes you wherever you want to go for the most part. The trams and busses are easily assessable too.
Tons of towels, bedding, plates, and such. No microwave but do we really need it lol.
The host - Emrah is a dream host. He was there to answer any questions we had and helped in any way. Went above and beyond as a host, he became a friend. My son was sick and he brought over medicine and offered to drive us to the hospital if we needed it. Anytime night or day. He helped with getting us a taxi to the airport when we needed to make a weekend gateway. At first, the internet was not working properly and he was there in 5mins to help resolve it, It was finally updated to fiber, and no more issues. Fast and stable. He kept his word on them upgrading, the company just took their sweet time but he kept me updated.
I truly wish I could have him host us in every country as we are world traveling and the place you stay sets the tone for the trip. He made our stay perfect. I can't say enough about him as a person. It goes beyond being a good host, he is a great human being.
Thank you Emrah.
