Fantastic location for exploring Istanbul and a nice flat, which desperately requires some finishing touches and care to make it excellent. For example, there were insufficient kitchen chairs for the four of us; the TV and WiFi did not work; there were pillows but no pillowcases; there was no frying pan; one of the chairs in the living room was broken; the en-suite shower leaked into the room as last year; there were odd sized mugs and glasses (which we bought ourselves the previous year as there weren’t any at all); no corkscrew; insufficient towels for 4; no dustpan and brush. Murat was very responsive, but one should not have to ask him for all these things they should be there already.
We really love the flat and have stayed here twice in the last year, but had hoped for an improvement this time, which was not forthcoming. These easy to fix things would have made it 5 star, but we won’t be staying there again. Very frustrating!
