First of all, Omer is not a good host, he is a trully great friend!!! And this is the reason why.
Me n my friends went for a road trip from Istanbul - Goreme - Kas - Bodrum - Cesme - Istanbul. When we got to Cesme, Omer contact us to arrange the checkin details in coming days, apparently he is in Izmir and he offer us sightseeing in Izmir, he gave us "Local" experience by visiting traditional markets in Izmir. Not just "tell you good spot" kinda host. And when we got to a shop to see things, the shop owner offer commision to Omer if we buy something from his shop, and as a friend Omer declined to do that.
And its he did it again in Istanbul during our last night stay, as he brings his brother to come. They helped us to get "Local Price" for gift items we want. Omer has set the bar so high for a host. Something you can't get in 5-star hotel, and reguler airbnb.
The Check-in day.
We arrive in Istanbul quite late, around 10PM, but it didn't stop Omer to help us, he arrange his friends to pick and guide us to the appartment.
Apartment it self is very convinient and clean 3BR with nice effective kitchen to make breakfast. Comfortable bed, clean toilet.
Easy access to T1(Karakoy), funikuler, Taksim square, Galata tower.
What we aim in airbnb is not just comfy, nice apartments/houses, but friends and "local" feeling and experience.
We got what we looking for in our trip to Turkey, in Omer and his aprtments.
Thank you very much Omer!!!
