Description
Hello my name is Mahir
I am married and have one little baby girl. I have been working in an airline company and traveling all around the world for over 13 years.
I have a big house near Istanbul airport. I am hosting people who are looking a place during their travel. This place gives me chance to meet different people from all over the world while I am at home. My house has 4 rooms I share some of them with travelers. but sometimes I need a hand, somebody to guide my guest while I am busy with my other duties.
We are not expecting more than a daily house duty.

I spent just a week at Mahir's place (in September) and it was truly nice experience.
This workaway is ideal for those who wants to disconnect from the megalopolis life and to spend some time at a rural and calm place. Istanbul is far and it's not that easy to go there without car, so I spent my free time… read more

We enjoyed our conversations with him but unfortunately we decided the Workaway was not a good fit for us.
I've experienced many workaways but this was the very first time I have ever left early.

We agreed with one month stay
After a couple of days their arrival. They decided to leave.
We didn't want to keep them longer unwillingly.
It would be better if they respected our agreement.
It was a good experience. He helped us as we expected.
He observed the house rules.
See you next time!
But suddenly when are not home he texted us that he had an instant 'allergy' left the house without warning.
He didn't reply our messages and calls.
We had to cancel our reservations just because of him.
It was not a good memory for us.
The job was very easy and chill.
good luck in life Salih and peace be upon you. 🌾🙏🏼
Only thing negative thing is, before her arrival we agreed on dates but she left early and we were not prepared for this.
They are professionals that willing to help and support their friends from their hearts.
They helped us about our project and gave us valuable informations.
Highly trustable and quick learner couple.
Worst part was leaving.
We wish them a great adventure for their future.
Hope to… read more

He knows a lot about equilibrium of give and take. We are happy to met Salih and have the good friend and soulmate in our live now! It was such a… read more
He was always willing to help and learn. He also was a translator for spanish speakers and try to do his best to keep guests happy.
We have a lot of adventures together and good talks.
Thank you for everything!
