This is a comfortable, third-floor flat with a small but functioning lift for access. It was scrupulously clean and supplied with minimal but acceptable necessities and good in-flat documentation. Check-in/out was simple, with the key being available in an external keysafe with combination lock.
The furniture was simple but perfectly adequate, with the exception of the beds, which were not comfortable. The flat was well laid out and tastefully decorated, with all the facilities you could need for a short stay. The heating (needed) was via air-conditioning units, but they worked well and heated the cold flat very quickly, at which point they could be switched off in case the noise became inconvenient.
The area is unappealing at first glance, with a reasonably poor aspect, significant road traffic and a large railway viaduct just outside. That said, external noise was not really noticeable (except the trains), and did not cause a problem. On the plus side, just a few minutes walk away was the Gazi, with a large selection of restaurants for all pockets, including one or two of very high quality, and good quality bars. A metro stop, with direct connection to the airport, was an easy walk (with cases) away. I felt safe to walk in the area at all times, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
I did have a problem on check-in, being sent the wrong information. This happened on a cold, dark night, in an unknown residential district with my phone very low on battery power, so I wasn't best pleased. However, Leonidas reacted quickly and apologetically, and the situation was quickly resolved, leading to a delay of getting to the correct flat of only about 30 minutes.
Overall, it was a good stay that fully met my expectations. Leonidas was very responsive and friendly, which is the big test should a problem arise, as in this case, so I would recommend this apartment and Leonidas.
