Started out not so great, but Cinar made sure we leave his apartment satisfied and a forever-to-remember sense of his hospitality. Hear me out.
We needed to book Cinar's place on the day of our flight out, as Airbnb had canceled our previous booking due to some payment technical difficulties that they have not informed us upfront. We only had just a couple of hours to board the plane to Istanbul where my girlfriend and I would spend a week.
In the rush, we havent had time to carefully go through all the bookings and ended up booking Cinar's place while thinking it has 2 bedrooms, while it has one bedroom plus a sofa bed in the living room. It was not completely comfortable to live like this for a week, but this is totally on us for not paying more attention.
The apartment is undoubtedly in a very comfortable location.
We havent gotten enough bed sheets to start with, but upon request, they were sent immediately.
I personally would recommend a couple of things to be upgraded/ fixed in the apartment for the value of it to match its price, but other than that Cinar was very welcoming of the feedback and showed us some hospitality from an Airbnb host i have never experienced before.
He was such a nice host and offered so much help at the end of our stay that it goes without question that he deserves the Superhost title. And he completely flipped our experience around!
Keep up the good work Cinar, and hope to see you soon in Istanbul again :)
