The location of the apartment is good - close to the Sultanahmet square, but in a bit deserted place, the houses nearby are empty, no neighbours etc. - a bit uncomfortable for us...
Saban was very friendly, met us on the tram station.
Though, we experienced problems from legal side, after 2-day stay there, local police came and asked us to leave this house....We were very uncomfortable, DISSAPOINTED and frightened as it was early morning and we were lucky that we hadn't left the apartment earlier, because usually we leave in the morning and come back late in the evening, what would happen with our belongings in this case???
From financial side we also suffered...the full amount was paid for the apartment, and we had to argue with Saban, ask the police to assist us to get our money back, as we didn't plan these expenses and could not afford to pay for the hotel and such a long stay in a foreign country for the second time! Part of money was refunded to us in EURO while it was transferred in USD, so we lost due to the currency difference again, evidently we lost AIRBNB commission also, which is absolutely unfair in my point of view.
Moreover, we lost the whole day when it happened, as half day police didn't allow us to leave the place, they gave us questions, etc., thus the vacation was spoiled! After that we had to find another hotel, the majority of places were booked as such kind of arrangements must be done in advance....So, unfortunately, a number of problems occurred as a result of booking of this apartment...Next time we will hesitate to book apartments via AIRBNB, as our bad experience shows that there is no guarantee of safety and lost money as a result...
