Ilhan is a great host, he is always reachable and responds very swiftly. The check in and check out worked flawless.
The accomodation itself is nicely situated, with an uphill walk of about 15min to the shopping street leading to Taksim square. Generally the apartment is smaller than it looks on the pictures. I did not use the kitchen, so I can't say anything about it. The bathroom is a bit dark and hard to ventilate. The shower is quite low, I (1.83cm) had to duck in order to fit my head beneath. However, the bathroom was very clean. The AC is in the living room, but suffices to also cool the bedroom if the door is left open. The bedroom has only very little space next to the beds, the floor there was a bit dirty with stains. The rest of the bedroom was very clean. The biggest downside in my opinion is the noise at night, a rhythmic metallic clonking and people talking. As the window has an opening for air ventilation that cannot be closed it is quite loud, even inside. Besides that everything was smelling a lot like chlorine, but that's just the country I guess.
