Couple of things of concern. Keep in mind I have a 16 month old child and pregnant wife.
1. AC was not working for 7 days. Some days it was 28-30 degrees and we could barely sleep. When we left the balcony open at night for some cool air, mosquitoes came in and bit us all over so we had to close the only cool air we were getting.
2. There were no cooking materials, we had to request it.
3. There was no Vacume to clean the place, we had to request it.
4. We accidentally locked ourselves out of the apartment, when we called Ali, he made us wait 7 hours before he opened the door for us. He said I’m busy and so we had to take a taxi to a mall and walk around for 7 hours before he came.
5. Ali asked us to leave at 10 A.M. for checkout on the following day of EID which was the national Holliday for Turkey. This was 1 hour before the Airbnb checkout time. That’s how he said goodbye to us.
6. On his Airbnb details, it lists the pool and gym area but he then tells us we cant use it unless we book the place for 6 months.
7. The Airbnb says it’s a Beach/Marina view, you see construction coming out of the balcony. There is no beach/marina view.
I’ve been to a lot of Airbnb places and most are good, but this was not a good experience for my family. I hope Ali learns from his mistakes and does not repeat it to other clients.
