Short-term room wanted: Merve in Istanbul

After my landlord selling the building, Merve needs a safe, quiet room in Istanbul for 3 months while getting back on their feet.

Istanbul
After my landlord selling the building, I'm temporarily without a home. I work as a hospital cleaner in Istanbul and I have a steady income, but I can't find a place that will let me in without the first month, a deposit and references that I'm in the middle of replacing. I'm looking for a spare room for 3 months. I can pay $55 a month toward bills, I'm tidy and quiet, and I'd be happy to help with cooking, shopping or yard work. I have no pets, I don't smoke, and I have three personal and work references. I understand that inviting a stranger into your home is a big step. I'd be glad to meet in a public place first and to share my work details. Thank you so much.

      best of luck, Merve. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

      • Chebet Nancy Nabwire

        Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Istanbul

        • Ishita D. Mehra

          Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Istanbul.

          • Sakshi A. Gaikwad

            Hang in there, Merve. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 40 people at work.

              Keep going, Merve. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from East London.
