[ELAINE'S REVIEW]
GOOD PLACE, PERFECT ROOM & BEST AIRBNB HOST!
(THIS IS A GOOD PLACE FOR WOMEN WHO ARE SOLO TRAVELLERS)
I booked and stayed at his place for a whole month.
Serkan's place was just where I needed to stay in a city that is loud, vibrant and somehow chaotic. You know the feeling after party, you just want to go home and feel calm. There, I found peace, felt safe and felt at home.
His apartment is 5 to 10 minutes walk to Istiklal Rd. It was also very easy to access the metro bus and trains. There are small shops and restaurants nearby.
In terms of checking in, he is very responsive and communicative. You won't have any trouble checking in.
To be honest, I was worried at first because I was travelling alone and I heard horror stories from my female friend who were a solo traveler in Istanbul. I felt very anxious about moving to his place BUT at the moment I met him, all the anxiousness went away. Serkan is a very bubbly person, friendly, always positive and would do everything to help you and to make you comfortable.
He even introduced me to his friends and through him I met a LOT of nice people, locals and internationals. He has a huge network.
He is incredibly nice person that a lot of people would take advantage of.
Please if you will book to his place, don't take advantage of him. He is really a nice guy. Be also aware and don't take and take. 🙏
Good luck Serkan and thank you for everything! 🌻
