A last minute booking made on the spur of the moment! What a mistake on my part! Burak is by far the most hospitable host that I have encountered on my Airbnb travels in Turkey and if I could have merited him with 6 stars, I certainly would have done!
His apartment is squeaky clean and exactly as in the description and it was a real pleasure staying with him, albeit it for only one night. But the real triple plus goes to him as a host, who not only gave up his time to show me the district, but took the trouble (and patience!) to answer all my queries regarding Istanbul, as well as about the history and culture of the country. Thanks Burak for enriching my entire stay in Turkey. Highly recommended!
