My best Airbnb experience so far.
The house is in the heart of Kadikoy/Moda, it’s lively, near to everything. The house is better in reality than in pictures. Located underground (-1) floor, perfect in summer because doesn’t get direct sun but is not necessarily dark and has lots and lots of breeze. It’s clean and gets deep cleaned regularly, Turgut hired two cleaners to take care of the house. The Internet is not the strongest but still manageable. He doesn’t have pets, which is perfect for me because most listings in Istanbul have cats, and not a few of the hosts expect us to also take care of the pets, which is funny because why would you take care of someone’s pet while on vacation? lol.
Turgut is nice and smiley, even though we didn’t talk a lot because of the language barrier and also because he often works long hours, we still had some laughs. Which is nice. His friends come by sometimes and they’re also nice.
Overall, I feel comfortable staying at Turgut’s.
