I loved my experience volunteering at the coliving and I already miss it. Mert and the other volunteers made me feel super welcome. 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🤗

This experience was amazing! The hostel itself is great. It's big, super clean and has really cool facilities. Mert was a great host. He really takes real time to get to know each volunteer, learning your strengths, your limits, and what you're comfortable with. I did decorating, reception, and events, and when I wasn't comfortable with a task, he immediately changed my schedule. You work alot during your shift, but Mert is very respectful of your time. You get a clear schedule in advance. You get a food allowance, and Mert also made amazing meals for us sometimes! 100% recommend!

My experience was excellent! Mert is extremely kind and helpful — he's always checking in to make sure we're doing well and feeling comfortable. The volunteer accommodations are great, and the hostel has plenty of space to study, work, or watch a movie. I highly recommend this experience and will definitely come back again!
