This was my first experience using airbnb, and it was very positive! A group of friends and I headed to Istanbul, and chose The Urban Bridge because of the historic area and proximity to key sights. The apartment is fabulous – very cool and spacious. And Doruk was a brilliant host – he sent us plenty of helpful information about Istanbul ahead of our trip, organised our return airport transfers (very smoothly too – we had a couple of different arrival times, and he ensured we were all collected in a timely manner) and even dropped in to the apartment at our arrival and departure to say hi. As a personal touch, he took the first guest who arrived out for a coffee in the local area, while she waited for the rest of the party. A perfect host, and the apartment was both stylish and spotless. I highly recommend!
