I’m usually quite forgiving and tolerant of issues at Airbnb’s but my experience here wasn’t good. The apartment was poorly maintained and not properly cleaned and there were other issues such as poor communication (Ayse was kind and helpful, but some others were not and gave conflicting info), an hour late check in, broken elevator in the morning, broken automated window blinds that wouldn’t close next to the bed, broken window hinge so it would not fully close, missing AC remote control, missing shower door, false fire alarm at 7am, being locked out of the building at 2am (power outage) due to the key code box having no back up power. Another tenant let me in eventually.
The upsides are a stunning view of Taksim Square, big windows you can open, great location and huge 73” TV, great shower pressure.
Out of a few dozen Airbnb stays, this is the only time I left early, after just 17 hours. Ayse at Wonder refunded me for the 2 unused nights immediately after I asked, so I appreciate that and perhaps these issues will be fixed for future guests. The company looked busy preparing many new units in this building and seemed too focused on future customers above current customers when I visited.
