Enes was very communicative and resposive as well as eager to solve problems. The check-in and check-out is very convenient, there is someone at the reception 24hrs a day. We were welcome to arrive at any time.
Unfortunately the first 1,5 days there was no hot water due to some gas problem in that area. Enes did not know about it but once we told him, he was actively trying to help us, if there was no hot water the following day, he offered us to find a new apartment.
During our stay there was also a very very heavy rain in Istanbul and there was unfortunately continuously (during the rain) water dripping from the ceiling (in the corner). In the morning, we already woke up to a puddle next to the bed. Therefore there is a bit mold in several spots on the slant side of the ceiling.
The A/C was working really great, without it, it would be too hot up there, right underneath the roof. The balcony was very nice, there was enough space, there is not much of a view (the opposite building and then in the corner a bit of the city). The only problem is that everything was very hot (chairs and table) because the sun is shining all the time - the chairs are black and the table is dark glass.
Photos are accurate, there are different armchairs (blue instead of red ones) and the bathroom is indeed quite small (the photo is probably a panoramatic version).
The kitchen is okay, but we did not cook as often as we planned to (i.e. there was no cooking oil,…) which was precisely the reason of looking for an apartment with a kitchen... The bed is comfortable, not too hard as others mentioned (about beds in Turkey).
It is important to say that the apartment is in a quiet street!!! That was really really really great. There are many other streets in Istanbul that are very noisy. Plus there are efficient blinds so you can get great sleep.
Yet I think the price of the apartment was not as accurate because we picked the most expensive out of our choices and there still were several negatives.
Plus you’ll probably hit your head at least 1-2 times because of the slant ceiling :D
A huge recommendation for any tourist: rather take the metro than the tram (more expensive but not as full and with A/C), and: during the combination of summer+holiday there are tons of people and the tram is crazily overloaded!!
Thank you, Enes, for the stay and your hospitality!
