I was one of the first guests to be hosted by Berk on Airbnb, so didn’t know what to expect as there were no prior reviews. Luckily, upon arrival, I was relieved to see that the place is exactly as shown in the pictures. Clean, neat and tidy!
The apartment is located in a residential complex called Mashattan in Maslak. The area is convenient for business travelers and family, but not so much for tourists. The metro is 15-20 mins by foot, but there is a free of charge shuttle in the complex that takes you directly to the metro so you don’t have to walk. The complex also has a supermarket, pharmacy, and some restaurants/cafes.
The WiFi was super fast (5G connection) and there were no outages even during a heavy snow storm.
Berk was very responsive and attentive. He answered my texts as I arrived from the airport and guided me to the apartment. He was also kind enough to purchase new bath towels upon request!
The risk I took paid off nicely. Berk’s apartment is highly recommended.
