Whatever I say about SBerk will be an understatement. He is hands down the best host I’ve ever had. Actually, he was so much more than a host, he is the kind of person you want to have whenever you go to a foreign place. He went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable since day one. I felt very welcomed and immersed in the Turkish culture. I stayed at his place for a bit over a month and I’m pleased that I did. The apartment is located in a very quiet neighborhood that is very central and within walking distance to cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, and the metro. The living room was beautiful with little creative work of art that SBerk prides himself in making. The room was so cozy and had everything that one might need from a comfortable bed to a huge wardrobe. The bathroom was sparkling clean with a great shower that maintained hot water, and the pressure was good as well. In addition, the WIFI was super-fast, which was just perfect for me as I was working and studying remotely. Upon leaving I can definitely say I now have a friend actually not just a friend but a family in Istanbul to whom I enjoyed talking and had great memories with. I would absolutely recommend staying at SBerk’s place, and if I ever visit Istanbul again, I’m not staying anywhere else!!!
