Location- good as it had a few options for restaurants, for some reason turkey doesn’t believe in breakfast so be prepared to be searching for a place that does serve breakfast we found one close to the apartment 1-2 days prior to leaving Istanbul.
Host- I did not meet the host. He had his friend check in for us, his friend did not speak English however that is mostly all people in Istanbul. His friend was kind and accommodating as it was freezing in the home around 2am his friend did show up right away to fix the issue.
Cleanness- the apartment was okay. cleanness wise, after 1 day of staying in the house there was a very strong, horrendous smell coming from the bathrooms. I believe it was a sewage issue or a plumbing issue it was terrible to just use the bathroom to wash your hands or even shower. The shower was okay the pressure of the shower head was not the greatest as it was dripping needed to use the removal shower head to have a shower. Host provided shampoo, body wash etc however I would recommend bringing your own body wash and shampoo etc if you have sensitive skin as I did have a terrible skin reaction to the products.
Communication- the host communicated well he did respond at a timely manner which is always appreciated.
Overall- the location was good, the host was kind and accommodating, but I would not book again. Be aware of the stairs it is very steep and a very dangerous there is no elevator which is hard when travelling with someone who is an elder and travelling with more then 1 suite case.
