We experienced a number of problems in this house:
A. Maintenance problems in the house
1. The bathroom was flooded with water.
2. The heating was not working at all in the kitchen, the bathroom and one of the bedrooms and it is middle of winter in Istanbul (6degrees)
4. The remote control and TV were not working properly.
5. The showerhead was not working/splashing water all over.
B. Spare key
On our first day, we forgot the key inside. They told us they don’t have a spare key and we had to call a locksmith and pay for it. Few days later it turned out that they have a spare key.
C. Violation of privacy
Violation of privacy - The host stated that they will send repairs people to the house when we are not there. We clearly stated that we do not give our permission but they went ahead and entered the house anyway.
D. Conclusion
To conclude, the house needs maintenance and should not be handed over to guests in that state. The host is not attentive enough to solve the issues.
