Nahide’s place is simply PERFECT!! In every sense: communication, transfer to/from airport, location, cleanliness, hospitality, furnishings, decoration, and SPECTACULAR VIEW. All FIVE STARS!!
But what makes a host truly distinguished beyond simply being super is when the unexpected happens and the host goes way above and beyond. That is when you know your host is also CARING! When my husband needed urgent medical attention, Nahide and her husband responded quickly to guide us to get the needed help. Also very importantly, Yasin, who takes care of the place, was EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND KIND beyond expectations ... finding taxi to get to the hospital (not easy when language is a barrier), checking on the best hospitals available that late night, staying with us in the hospital till the early morning hours although he worked night shift the night before and was working the morning shift that day, then taking us to a pharmacy, and getting us back to the apartment. We certainly would not have been able to manage alone at night without his help and would have made the situation for my husband much worse.
So yes, the place is GREAT. But the hosts - Yasin and Nahide & her husband - are the GOLD STANDARD to measure hosts by when you really really really need critical assistance.
Again, THANK YOU ALL!!!
