Atila is a WORLD CLASS HOST!
Myself and a dear friend stayed at his property for nearly a month. We wanted to taste the digital nomad lifestyle in Istanbul while working & holiday at the same time, as expected it was simply one of the best experience we've ever had in Airbnb. Here is why:
Before the trip
- Responsive and easy to communicate with, we had a lot of questions regarding the property, facilities, location, and he answered very openly and clearly.
- I had an issue with my card during the reservation process yet he guided me how we can proceed it and ensure the date is blocked during the freeze of my card for my stay.
During the trip
- Apartment is located in a basement, super clean and very chic
- Great location that is near to metro station (aprx. 700-800m)
- Close to tourists spots
- Lots of essential stores (groceries, pharmacies, atm, etc) as well as restaurants nearby
- Atila is easy going and very warm in person, he welcomed us and even served us light snacks and fill in the fridge with various drinks and sweets as we landed pretty late in Istanbul
- Really appreciate the friendly gesture of inviting us to dinner at his house and meet his little family, we had great Turkish x Indonesian cooking night (He is indeed a good Cook)
- You can definitely ask him for local experience and recommendation
- Also appreciate the amenities and facilities provided in the apartment; if something is not available, all you need is ask
- He always ensure we are comfortable during our stay and very helpful
After the trip
- Truly respect that he managed his workload so he could meet us during the morning checkout, beyond that he helped us carry our luggages, drop us to taxi station and he brought us some cookies for our way to the airport
The apartment feels like home and I would consider Atila as a friend rather than a host, He clearly made our trip to Istanbul far more memorable.
If you ever get the chance to stay at his property, it is a no brainer! Reach him out and book your dates, You'll have great experience :)
Teşekkür Ederim Atila,
keep in touch!
