Not to rain on your parade, but isn't it a bit disingenuous to compare your cost with living in NY or SF? I mean, of course it's much cheaper to live in Lisbon or Mexico City, regardless of the particular accommodation.
Turkey is an amazing place to work and live, there's an incredibly vibrant hacker community, and the people are some of the most welcoming in the world (especially if you're a visitor). Istanbul rents on the European side can run pretty high, but on the Asian side (and with the way the exchange rate is going these days), I think you'd be remiss to leave it out.
If not Istanbul, Ankara has a bunch of universities and rents are considerably cheaper. Bodrum, too, has relatively low rents and absolutely amazing natural beauty. Ok, enough ranting...
Seriously cool concept, though. I look forward to seeing where you take it!
The concept is really nice! BUT WHY OH WHY THE SCROLL HIJACKING?
This isn't scroll hijacking. This -> http://www.milwaukeepolicenews.com/#menu=source-page is scroll hijacking. Just because it's animating when you scroll doesn't mean it's hijacking. Hijacking is specifically altering the speed and or movement of the scroll.
This is a really interesting idea, though maybe a bit too expensive and, ah, "hip" for my tastes. (Currently hopping from Airbnb to Airbnb flatshare, paying $1000 or less a month for housing with internet and utilities included. Would be even cheaper if I wasn't in Western Europe.) I've been thinking lately of where I would like to live for most of my late twenties and early thirties. I'm definitely a bit of a loner,…
We've already run a co-living, co-working trip in Costa Rica and are about to begin another one in SE Asia.
I was hoping that AirBnB would do something like that. Great initiative! I'll add this to my list https://github.com/lukasz-madon/awesome-remote-job

Hey, thanks for the well thought out comment, the price point is for a certain group who wants total peace of mind not only in terms of internet speed etc. http://nomadforum.io/ has some pretty diverse people, i'd ask people there, maybe someone knows someone who knows the perfect website-less place.
Sounds like someone just renamed "timeshare."

Wait...you've named your startup "Caravanserai" and you don't have any destinations on the actual historical Silk Road? For shame!

We looked at Istanbul, but it was prohibitively expensive, at least for our Beta batch where we reserve certain safety buffer for things that could go wrong and in the neighborhoods we looked at.
Coastal towns like Bodrum could be a nice choice, any areas in Istanbul we should reconsider?
