Overall we are satisfied with our stay. The apartment is huge and is really well situated and surrounded by cozy friendly breakfast places, lots of cafes and small shops around. I would definitely recommend to improve the communication and the arrival . We acted exactly as the owner suggested and when we arrived there was no one there, after texting and calling and waiting for an hour the cleaning lady showed up. The place wasn’t ready and we felt exhausted after our all night flight. And then we had to wait downstairs, gladly we had a delicious breakfast right next to the apartment. Then, the owner showed up, which wasn’t the person that we were contacting though airbnb, and she was nice, but we felt like she could have offered us a drink or some compensation since she was sitting next to us in the same cafe. The apartment got cleaned in 20 minutes, which is not merely enough for such a huge place. It was still dusty. The couches are old and shabby, the bed is comfortable but very low and if you don’t like waking up in the dark, if you leave the curtains opened for the night, you will be waking up to the balcony of your neighbors in the building in front having coffee and observing your sleep. We found the ironing board, but couldn’t find the iron itself. The property owner didn’t respond twice to our request to check if the iron was available to us. However there was a vacuum cleaner left in the room probably suggesting the we could clean on our own. The apartment is really nice and really spacious, but these little details described above were a bit deceptive. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, since the location is absolutely perfect for energetic wanderers like us. Close to Galata Tower, close to Istiklal street and metro station, close to the tram that takes you directly to Sultan Ahmet and all touristic must-sees. I’m sure that this apartment will be popular and booked at all times, I just wished that the owners made the efforts to improve their hospitality and the neat organisation of the guests arrival. Thank you!
