I have had the good fortune of having great hosts through Airbnb, and I must say that Cem is at the very top of this list.
He is very thoughtful, and he made sure to follow my arrival time so that he could personally greet me at the property--no worrying about lock boxes, door codes, etc. after a very long flight. Instead, he was there to help carry my luggage and personally show me around.
Cem is the very best that I have ever encountered when it comes to communication. He answers promptly and is always so helpful. What a pleasant and professional host!
The apartment is modern, thoroughly CLEAN, and comfortable. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds that I have ever had in an airbnb. It was perfect, and restful sleep is so important when you are traveling.
There are two little mini-markets on the street if you need water, fruits, or snacks, but literally five to seven minutes walk from the apartment there are numerous choices for dinner. The location was wonderful; although, the winding streets in the area can be a bit confusing at first.
In short, I would highly recommend this apartment. It was lovely, and it made a great base from which to explore Istanbul. I loved it so much that I actually was able to extend my stay--Cem is gem! I can't wait to see him and Istanbul again.
