Your guests in Istanbul deserve a local's guide, not a generic PDF.
A HostGuide for Istanbul gives your guests everything they need from the moment they land. It covers getting around with Metro, trams, ferries, and BiTaksi, paying in TRY, and the kind of local knowledge that turns a good trip into a great one.
Your guide is auto-generated from your Airbnb listing and enriched with local data specific to Istanbul, Turkey. It includes check-in instructions, neighbourhood highlights, restaurant recommendations, emergency contacts, and house rules, all in a beautiful mobile-friendly page.
Hagia Sophia is now a mosque so no timed tickets but closed during prayer times. Guests arriving midday often lose an hour.
Istanbulkart covers every transit type including ferries - pick one up at any metro entrance. BiTaksi replaces Uber here. Standard taxis still quote 3x prices off the meter at tourist spots.
Bosphorus ferry vs tourist cruise, bazaar haggling, and Asian-side neighborhoods are the top repeat questions.
These are the questions that drop into your inbox at 9pm when you were hoping for a quiet evening. A one-page welcome section answers them once instead of fifty times.
