Where can I start.... So far my best AirBnB experience ever. Beste was super responsive, providing all the necessary information relevant for check-in and location.
The apartment was as exactly described, beautiful, quiet and fully equipped. practically a home away from home. Stocked up with toiletries, Tea supplies, Face Masks Etc. the lighting and ambience was just fantastic. All round heating throughout my time there, especially in the first 3 days which saw an Istanbul weather of between -1°c to 3°c. Very good shower pressure, hot water available round the clock.
Extra bedsheets were provided on request and Bahattin was on hand to show I and my wife how to work the washing machine and dry the laundry.
The only downside to the apartment was the view from the window, but who needs a view when you've got Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime and Blu available with super fast internet.
Very secure environment, the receptionists were also very cordial and helpful when necessary.
Beste helped us schedule our pre-departure PCR test and was also very helpful with getting a bus taxi to the airport.
It is safe to say that I will no longer be staying at hotels when I am in Istanbul so long as Bahattin and Beste's apartment is available.
A 15/10 for me.
