PROS: Kim was VERY friendly and helpful with suggestions for things to do around the city and transit instructions! I also LOVED the neighborhood the flat was located in - lots to see and do within walking distance and close to the canal and Turkish market.
CONS: The flat had a few too many tenants for my comfort level (four roommates and one other AirBNB guest) and the sheets, duvet, and towel that were provided were old and scratchy (also flannel in summer, which I thought was odd and was very hot). The room is as pictured, but the common areas were threadbare and worn down and not inviting, so I spent all time in the flat in my room. Additionally, a few of the other roommates were not very friendly, which made staying there feel awkward depending who was home.
Check-in procedures were a little confusing and communication was difficult (this was further complicated by the fact that I was traveling abroad and did not have phone service which was not the fault of the host).
Overall, I would say that if the price were a little lower or I were maybe 10 years younger, I would have felt more comfortable with the extent of my experience at this flat.
