The communication & organisation was terrible: I arrived off a long flight in the early hours of the morning to find that there was no room for me. This was despite a request for early check in which the host confirmed. No offer was made to reimburse me & in the end I had to go hunting around Istanbul for a hotel. The host did try put me in another hostel but from the website it looked terrible too & I did not want to pay any more money out to any of his associates. The one silver lining was that the place looked and smelt filfthy. The neighbourhood wasn't great either. Terrible communication & awful hospitality. Little better than a scam. I would strongly recommended you DO NOT book this place. Worst air BNB experience to date.
