If you don't have significant influence in Turkey or government connections, it can be quite challenging to thrive in business and make a decent income. These new laws seem to have been enacted primarily to benefit hoteliers. After a 1.5-year experience with Airbnb, I initially gave it a shot in 2018, but then took a break for a while. In the middle of 2021, I decided to return as a professional host and had the pleasure of welcoming many guests. I even achieved the status of a Superhost, with over 30 positive reviews.
However, in the end, I felt Airbnb's management didn't support hosts like they should have. As a result, I've decided to stop using Airbnb to offer accommodations. Currently, I'm looking for a long-term tenant for my vacant apartment on Airbnb. If you're in need of a temporary place to stay, you're welcome to consider staying in my apartment on Istanbul.
Warmest regards, Koray
