My experience at the coliving was amazing. Shifts are divided into morning (9–2), afternoon (2–7), and night (7–12). Mert gives 800 TL per person for groceries and often organizes group breakfasts or dinners. He genuinely cares about our well-being, always asking how we're doing, what we expect, and what we want to explore. He's really flexible. The work is simple but should be taken seriously and done responsibly :) I'm leaving this place with a full heart. Mert and the beautiful friends I made here turned my stay in Turkey into an unforgettable and very special experience.

I had an amazing experience volunteering at this hostel! The place is super clean, spacious, and incredibly organized. The work is easy and smooth, and the kitchen is just perfect—one of my favorite parts! The location is ideal, close to the metro and a climbing gym, which I absolutely loved. The owner is super kind, funny, and flexible, and really makes sure everyone is happy. Over time, he became like part of my family, and I'll always be grateful for that. I enjoyed my time so much that I'm already planning to come back next year

The work instructions are clear, the schedule is set together, and the exchange is totally fair. The hostel is really comfortable and the facilities are great. Mert is super nice, respectful, flexible, and fun. I totally recommend this volunteer opportunity! Thanks, Mert!

Our experience was short but intense and fun, just one week at the coliving, and it was absolutely amazing. Mert's hospitality, friendship, respect, and openness were incredible. Everything was smooth from the moment we arrived. Super organized, all the shifts clearly set, schedules respected. The room is great with a comfy bed, the bathroom is excellent, and the kitchen has everything you need. Perfect for any low-cost traveler wanting to enjoy the city stress-free. Huge thanks to Mert for the opportunity. Hope to come back someday and stay longer. Thanks, Mert!

I felt very very comfortable, happy, appreciated and welcome in this volunteering experience. Mert is such a nice, respectful and kind person. The tasks assigned are simple and there's enough time to do them. There's a supermarket on the first floor and public transportation nearby. You will have plenty of time to visit the beautiful and amazing city. Hope coming back soon because I had an amazing time🤗
