Mustafa is THE BEST HOST. We spent a couple of days at Social House, then traveled a few days outside Istanbul, then back to Istanbul- but at a different Airbnb (Social House was not available on our specific dates). When we returned to the city, we felt comfortable and welcomed to text Mustafa with questions, even though we were not staying at his hostel. Having a trustworthy local guide available, to give honest suggestions about their city is a gift from the travel gods. Thank you Mustafa, you are great at what you do and have made a positive impact on our travels in Turkey.
The Social House is clean and tidy, including the kitchen and the bathrooms. All other guests were respectful. There is designated space in a refrigerator for each room, and the common areas are a perfect size to feel cozy in. Social House openly welcomes you to message them if there is anything at all that you need, i.e. directions, if bathroom needs attention, or if you need something specific within or outside the hostel. Very friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay here very much and will stay here again in the future. :)
