To put it simply, what I thought the definition of hospitality was, was completely changed when we stayed at James’s 4floors. From the moment we landed till the moment he called a cab for us at 3 am, James’s compassion for his guests is unmatched. James is a well connected architect in the city so he knows all the local spots to go to — he even took us to a couple of his favorite spots in the neighborhood. He sent us an extensive list of all the restaurant, bars, and places we should visit with even ways to communicate with people if you don’t speak Turkish. The Airbnb is stunning, filled with handmade abstract furniture that him and his sister make in their design studio close to the Airbnb. The street has lots of boutique shops and cafes with the Main Street right next to it so everything is at your finger tips.
Our stay in Istanbul was one of most memorable experiences I’ve had in another country and that wouldn’t have been possible without James and his lovely place.
If the world had more people like James, the world would be much better off.
