Reviews about him being a superhost shows just what Serkan & his family are - wonderful people. Serkan goes beyond his duty as a host & pick me up, drove me around to eateries & looking for a souvenir. His mum is a wonderful cook, and is always smiling even though she can’t understand English. And his niece & nephew are so cute, they’re always playing around the house like kids does.
His place is in the outskirts of Istanbul, away from the hustle & bustle of tourist activities. His neighbourhood is surrounded by eateries & below his apartment is a convenience store. Main tourist areas can be reached via tram (which is less than 5 mins walk), within 45 min (depending on traffic) & airport within 30 mins (depending on traffic, as well).
I have the honour of being the first & last Singaporean to stay at his place. Thank you Serkan & family!
