Everybody has a story. I have been living alone since I was 11. I was born in a small village 30 years ago. I still do not know my exact birthday. I spent my childhood shepherding cows,taking care of hazelnut fields, chopping woods, climbing trees and picking fruit. I made all my toys by myself and play with them outside and coming home dirty. Soccer was my favorite and I do not remember how many windows and light bulbs I broke.Everything was allright until I had to quit school for working after 5th grade because of hard conditions. I was ready to go to a city to start working in construction. It's the most popular job there. Men leave the village for months for income and come back for winter season. After a year of break , I had the chance to start school again. I was a bright student and I was asked if I wanted to go to the city for studying. I went.I was so independent that I cried to rent a room instead of going to a dormitory. My room did not have any windows, but I was happy being in charge of my life. It was how I started living alone since then. I started cooking, washing my clothes and ironing them, organize my own life,selling donuts on the street,having a lot of guests(friends), because I was the only kid living alone at 11. Therefore, I have been hosting since that time.I witnessed so many stories. Up to now, 19 years with full of memories, stories and people, and counting...

I started professional hosting here in Washington DC. I met Airbnb 5 years ago. Now, I run multiple apartments for Airbnb as a host. I might be the most experienced and the busiest Airbnb Super host around Washington DC Metropolitan area. I have over 3500 REVIEWS and counting. And I don’t believe you can find easily a host who has that many reviews. There is so much hard work and sweat behind it. I do my best to make my guests stay as comfortable as possible and I enjoy it.

I have met thousands of new people and many cultures through Airbnb and through hosting so far. I have hosted over 5 thousands reservations and tens of thousands of people from all over the world.

Beside that, I am an entrepreneur dealing with businesses independently. I got my MBA , and I am operating Home Remodeling Service,Cleaning Service companies and I had opened a CAFE in Georgetown, Washington, D.C..

I have 2 furry sons Coquito Padişah(King in Turkish) and his son Şehzade( Prince in Turkish).
I love watching and playing soccer. Favorite teams is BESIKTAS and Manchester United, love Turkish tea and I drink a pot of it everday . I am a true peace supporter and idealist. I believe that everybody is a finger of same hand. Also, I genuinely believe that hosting serves for peace, because we meet all type of people. So we get rid of all our prejudgments about others. As long as you travel around you become more respectful. I think meeting new people, traveling, try new things are kind of essentials of our life.
