Bulent is an excellent host overall. He’s super responsive/accommodating & so very detail oriented. This was hands down my best Airbnb experience yet & I’ve travelled quite extensively. Here are some pros/cons:
Pros
- Spacious/clean
- Super quiet area/soundproof windows & doors
- Elevator in building
- Comfortable/firm mattress
- Strong/reliable wifi - Zero issues the 1 month I was there working remotely
- Dedicated workspace with good lighting (lots of sunlight & ambient lighting)
- Wall-to-wall windows in living room provides excellent airflow
- Smart TV
- Decent size kitchen
- Strong shower pressure with consistent hot water
- Window ventilation in bathroom
- In unit laundry set- didn’t notice any issues whatsoever
- Cleaning available upon request
- Lots of great restaurants/grocery nearby
- Excellent Bosphorus views from balcony
- Walk-out balcony from bedroom
- Well connected for public transit
- Quiet/inconspicuous neighbors. I was there for a month and didn’t once run into anyone
Cons
- Very hilly area, lots of steep climbs. I appreciated the exercise but might be too much for someone with limited mobility
