The flat has a great location in the heart of Istanbul which makes it very convenient to just walk around without having to use public transport or taxis.
However, we thought that the flat was overall not clean enough.
When we arrived, the bed had no sheets, there was no toilet paper, no towels... we texted Sadaf about it and the next day her mom brought what we asked for (bed sheets tho seemed very old).
It was written in the appartement description that there is a cloth dryer but there was no. Moreover, there was no soap to use in the washing machine and when I asked Sadaf she said that it was not on her to provide some. We were traveling by plane back and forth and for obvious reasons it was not worth it for us to buy some to use the machine only once. We believe providing this product should be included, otherwise it shouldn’t be mentioned that there is a washing machine ready to use.
In addition, the wifi connexion is not good at all, this place is definitely not for someone who would like to work remote for instance.
Another thing, we’ve been told to not change the temperature of the AC, which was set on 20 degrees. We ignore the reasons why but we would have enjoyed to be able to change it. Last but not least, the surrounding of the apartment is noisy in the morning due to the people working at the shops right under the windows, this however didn’t bother us that much since we were waking up early to go visit the city, just saying for the people who would plan to rest.
As a conclusion, our experience in this flat could have been better. The only good thing we see about it is again it’s great location.
