What I loved the most about this apartment are two things:
1) Beautiful neighborhood (Cihangir) with plenty of coffeeshops and nice streets.
2) The Bosphorus view from the apartment is amazing.
Good
* Clean sheets and couch.
* Big living room. I loved the swing chair.
* Good kitchen with new appliances and plenty of dishes and cookware.
* Good Internet.
* Big TV.
* The elevator which was necessary for my parents.
* The host (Okan) came to the apartment for our check-in and I got the chance to ask him many questions. He was super helpful. I was able to communicate with him through WhatsApp which is great.*
No so good
* Shower water doesn’t drain fast enough, so you get standing water.
* The shower room is too small and the door doesn’t close well.
* We often heard noise from the upper apartment.
* It would have been nice to have a bread toaster in the kitchen.
* An exhaust fan would be great in the toilet.
* More chairs for the dining table would be great.
