The flat is excellently located in the Cihangir district with lots of stylish restaurants within 5 minutes walk, Istiklial street is only 5-10 minutes walk as well. Grocery Carrefour is next door, T1 tram stop is 10 minutes down the street (you have to go up the hill to reach the apartment from the tram stop). 3rd floor, no elevator.
The flat is indeed big and quite stylish with high ceiling and old school wooden floor, but unfortunately it is rather shabby.
- dark inside, brighter lamps needed
- flush button is missing in one of the 2 bathrooms, toilet brush is missing in another
- wash machine is old and seems to be broken
- bathroom turns into a pool after a short shower, there is a water leak
- creaky doors and beds
- the entrance door is weak and backed up by an iron cage from the outside
- only one set of keys despite 3 bedrooms
When we arrived the towels were still drying on radiators. Every morning a noisy garbage truck collects municipal waste right in front of the window.
