I had fun staying at the coliving, mostly because there were many other volunteers to talk to & become friends. For that, I am truly happy, as I found people and had an awesome time with them. My work was pretty independent ( cleaning) and not difficult. The place is in a good location on the Asian side of Istanbul. Mert - the host, is trying to build the place, which takes a lot of patience & ability to communicate & get people's feedback. I am sure with the time he will only improve himself in those & have truly amazing time with everyone, who comes to help.

The hostel has really good facilities, but is usually a bit quiet. Public transport works really well, but it does take its time from the location in Ataşehir. In addition to reception work, Mert wanted me to help with some online marketing, which I was happy to do. Hoewever, here I felt like my ideas weren't supported / he wasn't open to new input which was a bummer

My experience at the coliving was great! The hours are well respected, and the work is very easy: basic housekeeping, cleaning and reception. Nevertheless, i missed some kind of training or clarification about what was needed to be done. Sometimes i felt lost while doing the tasks, feeling some lack of communication. So, i would say that the communication of the manager with the volunteers needs to be improved asap! The hostel is very far from the city center (european side) but in my opinion, the asian side is a better spot to stay for a longer time.

My time in the hostel was good. The place is well located near the metro station and many bus stops which made easy to move around. Mert is a kind-heart person and was always checking on us to see if everything was ok and always open to help if we needed. During my cooking period he gave me freedom to cook and shop whatever I wanted. And during my reception time he trusted me enough to manage the hostel in the best way possible. I had a great time with guest and also could live with two different groups of volunteers and they were great! Gonna keep most of them in my life.

All the volunteers were very friendly and I had a fun time spending time laughing w them! The hostel has great workspaces, lounge areas, movie room, and dining areas. Take your pick! Mert is understanding and flexible most of the time! We also had some commitment/communication issues- like us having to change rooms 3 times, me arriving for making murals only to be later told I can't do that in his absence. That is fair, but I wish I'd known that before I arrived. He offered to work at reception instead which I expressed didn't suit me. Mert came up w an art project alternative that worked!

It was such good experience, Mert is an amazing host flexible, reliable and always willing to help. I was in charge of the housekeeping and it was convenient job, as it was in the morning then had lot of time to spare and as the hostel is not soo big then it gets easier by the time. Food was always provided and same with the times and days off, never had any problem with the host and othe volunteers, we had very good team and enjoy amazing time together. The hostel is perfect for digital nomads, the atmosphere is perfect to work and rest, also it is 5 minutes from the train station

Works at the coliving's was a great experience! I met a lot of nice people that helped me and were supportive. Specially the owner Mert, who always was open to new ideas. Just some small adjustments about working was needed, but is not a problem if you clear all with them in person. The hostel is new, fresh and have good accommodations. I supposed to work in housekeeping but I ended up working in reception which was good! Very easy job, fun and flexible. I recommend this hostel! ;)

Mert was an excellent host and my experience at the coliving was exactly what I needed as a tired traveller. I enjoyed exploring an area of Istanbul that I wouldn't have otherwise visited. As the hostel is new, the team is still figuring out some of the processes but Mert is always quick to respond to any questions. I enjoyed having the responsibility of working reception and meeting people from countries I hadn't had much exposure to beforehand. We also had delicious food in the morning and evening and free laundry which was great.
