This was my first experience staying in an Airbnb and it honestly didn’t disappoint. The apartment is as it was in the pictures, it’s equipped with everything you may need during your stay.
Our host and his assistant were really helpful during the check in process, we actually arrived past the check in hours but the assistant waited for us to give us the key!
The wow factor for us was probably the fact that we had access to a swimming pool we didn’t know about until we checked in ;)
The location was also great, the metrobus station is 5 min walk away from the apartment, the marmaray is just one metrobus stop away and Akasya mall is just one stop away from the other side..
The apartment is also close to a couple grocery stores 10-15 min walk to the left is BIM and Çağrı markets, ( near these is a local restaurant named ‘tepe’ {I think} we highly recommend you have some kebab at this restaurant)
15-20 min walk to the left was mini-carrefour and a 24/7 shop all with very reasonable prices!
I also can’t emphasize enough on how safe we felt during our stay, there is constant security down by the entrance as well!
Some of the only problem we faced during our stay was the AC leaking the first couple of days, but our host and his assistant were really helpful in arranging times with the technicians to come and fix it, the other was the WiFi I don’t know why it didn’t work but we didn’t have much problem with it since we had already bought local SIM cards with cellular data ( I can’t leave out the fact that our host tried his best to fix it and offered to pay for extra data on the SIM cards ).
