We ended up not staying here, as we were concerned about the low windows in the living room for our two year old. The location wasn’t what we expected and felt a little run down, the bathroom was very small, with no window or extractor fan and not in a great condition. The wifi was also quite spotty and only worked in the living area. Logistics is also a consideration as the apartment is situated down a steep hill, the road is one way so taxi’s not always available.
Check in was challenging, as Gul sent us a video the day before with the check in code (which was the same as the code indicated on Airbnb), the code was however changed the previous evening (while we were flying) and as we went straight to out Airbnb, we couldnt get into the apartment. Gul had tried to send us the new code the previous night, but as we did not get the messages in time.
Our advice would be to make sure about the location before you book. The view onto the Bosphorus is really beautiful however the apartment itself apartment was disappointing.
