I stayed at Yusuf’s place for the month of May and would like to share my experience.
The taxi dropped me off in front of the house and the check in was seamless and effortless, all you needed to do was type in the code at the door and find your room. My room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.
In terms of location, the place is only a few metro stations from Sishane and Taksim Square and only one station from Marmaray from where you can cross over to the Asian side.
Yusuf responded very quickly whenever I had a question or needed something and recommended places for what I needed.
The other guests at the house were very friendly as well.
During my stay I actually fell ill for about two weeks and Yusuf checked on me daily, offered me tea and made sure I had everything I needed.
Yusuf is the kindest, most accommodating host I have encountered so far during my airbnb stays. We had some interesting conversations and overall, I felt very much at home.
I can definitely recommend staying at his place.
Thank you for everything!
