Instructions for getting to the appartment were crystal clear (truly outstanding by Turkish standards, really) and we could enjoy it without any delays. It was clean and well-equiped overall. The owner was quick to respond to any request we made. We were not entirely satisfied however.

One week before we arrived, the owner informed us that the apartment we had reserved was no longer available and that we would have another apartment in the same building. She didn't offer to cancel the reservation, but we had no time to find another apartment on such a short notice in any case. The new apartment was not totally equivalent as it had a much smaller kitchen and no balcony. This was really disappointing as these were features we were looking for when we chose this apartment because we were travelling with a baby and did not wish to eat out all the time. Also, the kitchen lacked a few basic items: dish clothes, bread knife, microwave oven.

Outside of the owner's control, the most unpleasant feature was the Irish pub across the street, which played very load music every night except Sunday. On "Saturday", they turned it off at 8AM... I guess you can't have a quiet apartment in a lively neighborhood, but I didn't expect so much noise so late.
