We liked the Verda apartments, I recommend them to visit.
+:
- Excellent location. From the bus stop from the airport (Havabas) you can walk without a lot of luggage. Walking distance to Istiklal street is 5-10 minutes. We also walked to the Galata Tower, to the piers, to the bazaars. Everything is near if you like to walk.
- The apartment is ready for long-term living, there is everything specified in the description: a large refrigerator, stove, dishes for cooking, washing machine, dryer, ironing board, iron, hair dryer.
- Verda was always online and helped quickly, answered all questions, was kind.
- Near the apartments there is an excellent home breakfast cafe, shops.
- Verda sent the location, and we arrived exactly at the point.
- Bed linen and towels were clean. The mattress and pillows are comfortable. There were two mattresses and at night they parted, forming a hole, but this did not bother us.
- The water in the shower was warm, with excellent pressure.
- Things took a long time to dry, but besides the usual dryer, there was a warm battery in the toilet. And there is a battery near the bed.
- The heating worked, we did not freeze. There was also a carpet on the floor.
- There is a sanitizer at the entrance.
- The description states that it is possible to smoke in the apartment, but the apartment did not seem smoky, there was no smell at all.
- Verda speaks English, which is rare in Istanbul.
-:
- Very bad wi-fi: it takes a long time to load a voice message and a photo. From time to time (2-3 times a day) it stopped working completely, Verda recommended restarting the router. The router is not in the apartment. However, in Istanbul, almost everywhere we saw bad internet.
- The apartment is dark, there is no sunlight, the windows face the wall (balcony), there is no view of the street, you do not understand the weather. Not all lights were on in the chandelier. The night light also had 1 light bulb out of 3. When the neighbors walked from above, the chandelier shook, and there was also a dark light jumping and blinking.
- The apartment was smaller than we expected, as in the photo the door of the room was open and the hall was visible, which we took for the continuation of the apartment.
- We did not have enough sockets for all the gadgets.
