We arrived at this place and noticed dirty floors and bathroom. Even the trash was still in the kitchen. For those who are planning to stay for longer duration, there is only one pan in the kitchen. No bowls or plates.. There was no hand soap in the bathroom or kitchen. There was a broken ceiling lamp which still had shattered remnants attached (clearly a safety hazard). Perhaps the Airbnb standards are different in Istanbul compared to the US. Regardless we ended up canceling our booking within hours of checking.
On another note: Ali Raza is a real estate agent and he was extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. He responded to our messages appropriately and helped us secure this property. I’d trust Ali again anytime. However, here the issue is clearly with the people who own this property. The owners of the property need to step up the standards before they rent it out and pay attention to the details.
