I try to be objective here. It started off well, the pictures of the place looked good, i liked the house rules, host seemed nice and even gave recommendations for delivery apps (which you definitely need, trust me!).
After arrival, things however took a bad turn, the area is loud and very dirty (garbage bags are just put at the curb alongside the littered trash, and no trash containers available for the area).
Few hours after checking in i discovered there are bugs/cockroaches living under the kitchen cabinets (depending how much time you spend at home you might kill between 4-8 bugs per day).
The bedroom walls are pretty thin, and the neighbors like to blast loud music during the day and are fast to complain if you watch anything on your old ipad at 60% volume in the bedroom after 22:00 (even on weekends).
The apartment has three windows facing the alley to the south, on two occasions during my three week stay someone living down the alley lit a fire that lasted the whole day (maybe they were barbecuing?) forcing you to either close all windows (on a hot day in May) or enjoy the smell of the smoke.
In three weeks i never managed to call a taxi via app between the hours of 8:00-23:00 to go to Besiktas, Taksim, Osmanbey, Mecidiyeköy, the only time I actually had success was on the last day when i went to the airport…
So be prepared to hike (mostly uphill) to the next public transport station, the mall, or restaurants and cafés (all at 4. Levent).
Some good things about the apartment were the availability of a washing machine and the big fridge.
The worst experience for me was at checkout when I asked the host 4 days in advance if i could checkout one day earlier due to my flight. During the course of the next four days he kept changing his mind three times when he will actually come and pick up the keys, ending up spontaneously texting he’ll be there in 30 mins and then blaming me for not replying and not being at home while i was at the hospital…
