Orkun's Airbnb apartment was the best I have ever stayed at so far. I was in Sariyer because I needed to attend a short series of lectures at Koç University, and so the location was perfect because a shuttle which departs right in front of the residence brings you there in less than 10 minutes, for free. Before choosing to stay at Orkun's place, I checked out in person many other flats available to rent in the area (most of which were just plain depressing) listed for similar or even higher prices. This apartment was far bigger than any of them, cozy, with 2 bathrooms, a huge living and dining room, and even a private garden, at a lower overall cost. The owner is a very hard working 24 years old guy who provided so much added value. Orkun showed me around the best restaurants, helped me in difficult translations (his English is excellent), introduced me to his dear family and friends, and was absolutely wholesome. I can't wait to return as soon as the occasion will arise again. A gem
