Truth is, I arrived at Muhammet’s place pissed off, because only the night before (too late to cancel) had I realized that the location shown on the map and the actual location of the place are very-very different. I still don’t know if it’s Muhammet’s fault or airbnb’s. Having said that, what’s also true, is that two minutes after my arrival, my mood had changed com-ple-te-ly; the room I was given was BIG (the apartment has a total of three bedrooms), and most of all, Muhammet showed me from the very start what a warm and generous/thoughtful host he is. Ok, communication was a bit of a problem, “g**gle translate” worked overtime, but we still understood each other. Once Muhammet “won” me with his hospitality, I no longer cared about the location problem. Actually, the location is not bad, there is a metro station less than 100 meters away, it’s just that it’s not the location I wanted to be based in those four days I spent in Istanbul. All in all, I had a VERY nice stay at Muhammet’s place, as a host he is awesome-awesome, and all things considered, I could stay there again if I went back to Istanbul. Apartment and host definitely recommended.
