The flat is located in a very nice neighbourhood, very local and lots of coffeeshops and restaurants nearby. We had a self-check-in, so nobody was there to open the door. Instead we had a safe with the keys in it. This worked super easy and very well. Murat, a friend of Ekin, answered all our questions on WhatsApp very quickly and brought us another toilet paper roll when we asked.
Although we liked the location, we think the flat needs some renovation, as the shower was leaking, the handle was broken and there was mould in the shower. Also the sink was leaking a bit and there was water on the table. In the bedroom, there was a socket which was completely black, so we could not use it. There were also some stains on the bedsheet. We only went there to sleep, so we did not spend much time in the flat because Istanbul is amazing and so big. We enjoyed this city so much, we will definetely come back!!! :)
All in all, we enjoyed our stay in Istanbul very much, but would rather book another apartment for the next time.
