The apartment has a breathtaking view. Probably one of the most beautiful views one can have in Istanbul. Sejo is generally a kind person. He helped us with the bags upon our arrival. However, It was the worst experience I could have ever imagined. The apartment is so outdated. Everything looks like the photos but maybe a couple of years ago. It’s clear that the photos are taken for the apartment very long time ago. The host isn’t transparent about the fact that the apartment is on the third floor without an elevator. My family had to suffer everyday to go up and down. Besides, the street to the apartment is hard to find and you need to climb stairs up and down to get to the building. The hygiene level is pathetic. The bathroom is completely ruined. The shower doesn’t work and leaks water. The toilet door’s hand is destroyed and risks people locked inside the toilet. The mattress seem to never had any deep cleaning. They smell, and are itchy. We had to close the washing machine room all the time because they being a horrible smell. Two of us had to leave their rooms and sleep in the living room due to the dirty mattress. The building’s entrance smells the moment you enter the building. I stayed 9 days and never seen it washed a single time. If I wasn’t in a busy business trip and had no time to search for something, I would have left. I asked Sejo for help on the very poor water supply but he didn’t answer my messages and we never had a proper water supply. I think due to this experience, I will never risk a business or leisure trip with Airbnb again. Airbnb should have a responsibility to check the accuracy and details that the host provides. I definitely don’t recommend this apartment to anyone neither Airbnb in Istanbul. If you must have Airbnb, request updated photos and call the host to ask all the possible details.
