The apartment is spacy and located in a convenient spot—close to a variety of public transportation such as the tram, metro and ferry. We stayed here for a month and were overall satisfied with our stay. We had to get a few things for the kitchen (like a pot to make pasta, a sieve, etc.) since we wanted to cook at least a few days a week. This wasn’t really a problem. The main issue was that the fan in the TV room wasn’t working when we arrived and the last 10 days of our stay it got pretty hot in Istanbul. I asked about fans/air conditioner before we booked the place specifically, because my husband has low tolerance for heat, so we were disappointed to find out that the fan was not working (all other fans and the air conditioner in the bedroom worked well). We were watching the World Cup, so we spent quite a bit of time in that room. Jonas was already aware of the problem when I brought it up with him and told us that there was an issue with its engine and that he bought the fans from France and couldn’t find a matching model in Turkey to replace the broken one. He offered to send one from France, but of course the chances of the fan making it to Turkey before we left was very low. We were expecting a more immediate solution—such as an inexpensive portable fan from a local store perhaps? Luckily, I have family living in Istanbul, so we borrowed a portable fan from my sister; otherwise we wouldn’t be able to use that room very much. Jonas was prompt in his replies when we had questions and he let us stay an extra night without charging us.
