Volkan is truly a "super host" in every sense of the word! My wife, mother, and two young daughters recently stayed at one of Volkan's properties during a 24-hour layover in Istanbul, and Volkan made the brief stay quite the wonderful experience. We felt truly welcomed, cared for, safe, and well-guided the entire time. The apartment was great (very recently renovated, clean, cozy, and fantastic location), but Volkan went above and beyond. He guided us to the best spots to eat, introduced us to shopkeepers in his building who could help us if we needed, was absolutely loving and wonderful with our daughters, was easy to work with, etc. When I asked if he could help organize trusted transportation from the airport to the apartment, he didn't hesitate. He booked us our own Mercedes van that was perfectly seamless, organized, and safe with a wonderful man who also took us back to the airport the next day. It was a great price value, and all done through Volkan for ease. As we left, he even brought us a basket of fresh cherries for our long flight back to Los Angeles. We strongly recommend Volkan for any trip to Istanbul. Our only regret was that we didn't have longer to spend there exploring the city, enjoying the apartment, and getting to know him better.
