Unfortunately Giuseppe’s place was a big disappointment for us.
We had chosen the apartment primarily for the location in Cihangir- and on that it delivered. Sadly, it failed on most others.
The door to the terrace is broken and needs to be replaced (not repaired). I had seen a previous reviewer mention the broken door, so I contacted Giuseppe to inquire about it and request that it be addressed prior to our arrival in 2 weeks. I was told by Anna that the door was “stubborn sometimes”, but that if would be fixed... it wasn’t. It was extremely frustrating- but honestly we probably wouldn’t have spent so much time out there anyway as it seems to be used more as a storage area for old furniture.
There are many hills in Cihangir and there are 98 steps to reach the apartment (no lift), so we were especially excited about the sauna. That also did not work. Anna informed me that it was “tricky” to work with- there seems to be a pattern here...
Additionally, the apartment was extremely cluttered and not thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival.
The drain to the shower was very slow, so the bathroom became a big puddle after bathing (there’s shower no door).
The refrigerator was not turned on when we arrived- we thought that was also broken but realized that we just had to turn the temperature up... you’d think if they were expecting guests, it would be turned up already.
The wifi worked great!
I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this apartment to anyone.
