I’ve been in Turkey for 2 months, and AirBNBs have been more of a bait-and-switch than the average country. Too many times, I’ve been fooled by photos or descriptions that were blatant lies. I actually switched to hotels for a few weeks!
Mehmet’s place is an exception and far exceeded our expectations. It’s a proper apartment building with an elevator (!), spacious rooms, his-and-her sinks, extra toilet paper and garbage bags (you’d be surprised at the number of hosts who don’t provide these). Mehmet was awesome enough to lug our 50kg+ bags from the luggage storage in the basement to the apartment, before we arrived.
This was a perfect apartment in the perfect location, while at the same price as others with below-average quality. I would stay here again in a second.
