The positives:
- The property itself is in an old building (but this is just Istanbul! It’s character), it is spacious, well decorated and more than enough room for two to three people, two balconies and most things work perfectly. Shower is slow and take a while to become warm but rain shower usually does that. The balconies are nice and spacious, quiet too which is unexpectedly nice.
- The location is superb, it’s located in the middle of Taksim but it’s absolutely peaceful and quiet. You can hear road noises but in a city, it’s expected.
- Brilliant responsive host!
Negatives:
- It’s a hike & lots of stairs. I would not recommend if you hate hiking/walking — but we love to eat so it helps us justify it 😂
- The apartment needs maintaining— tap loose, door handles loose, shower is not fixed in place I was scared to break it. Apartment is not as modern as the pictures anymore but it’s regular wear and tear. Fridge isn’t that cold. Some instructions written by pencil and are fading.
