Ozgur’s hospitality is second to none. He is very friendly, polite and very understanding. I couldn’t unlock my iPhone, and therefore couldn’t insert a SIM card to communicate with Ozgur when I first landed. My flight was delayed several times and I arrived late to the airbnb with no way to contact him until late in the evening. He kept in contact on the airbnb site and kept texting on WhatsApp to check if I was okay and arrived safely. He thankfully didn’t cancel on us and I am so grateful. His airbnb is in such a great location, a 10 min walk to galata tower and to so many cool shops and restaurants. We enjoyed visiting all the mosques, bazaars, and sites in Istanbul and then were able to relax. The airbnb is also less than a 10 min walk to the metro stop. It was so convenient and accessible to be able to spend time with our friends in the airbnb and also venture out to explore during the 4 days we were in the airbnb in Istanbul. If there was any downside to talk about, the dryer gave us trouble on the morning we were to fly out. Our clothes were stuck in the dryer and still didn’t dry out completely. That was the only issue, and in this case maybe put less clothes in and give yourself ample time to use the dryer. A Turkish to English translation or manual would’ve really helped to figure out what the machines buttons were saying. But when thinking of our overall trip and time, we thoroughly enjoyed his place and would 100% recommend it!
