Description
Hi 👋
We are a couple(Huseyin&Menşure) who runs a hotel/hostel here in Mardin. 🍀 We are interested in photography,cinema and theatre.
Our hostel is at old Mardin. You can go by walk everywhere. We have 9 rooms.
We do regular works together with Ümit, who is night receptionist and Menşure's brother.
We cook and eat together at our beautiful terrace. We prefer to eat 2 times a day. Late breakfast and dinner. We have a kitchen and we cook there. You may use it any time you need. We prefer to eat twice but you can use 3 times or more :)
We spend most of our time to prepare our place for guests. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am making movies and also a photographer. We would love to share our experience and knowledge about photography, cinematography, and especially music.
Menşure is teacher for children who has disablities.She is also into theatre acting.
We also know Kurdish and Turkish. We can teach both.
We both know the area very well. We may have suggestions about where to visit around.
Mardin is the only multicultural city in Turkey where you can find different churches, mosques, monasteries. Also have cinematic streets! You will enjoy getting lost in the streets. (Don’t worry it is not that big) -

We need help for regular works such as cleaning the rooms, change the sheets and do the washing.
