We stayed at the apartment for 6 days. It is well designed with a good view over Istanbul and very spacious. The location is quite convenient for the area, near many restaurants and the busy shopping street.
Just a few things to note and where I would suggest improvements:
- the apartment is situated on the last floor of the building right under the roof. In summer it gets really hot during the day especially, and there is only 1 air conditioning unit in the living room that is not enough for the whole apartment. The bedroom is located on the opposite side and has no AC so it gets quite hot at night. The host provided us with a fan on our last night so that helped to sleep better.
-some of the basic things that you find in most Airbnbs were not provided when we arrived or not refilled, such as hand soap in the bathroom, dishwashing liquid (the bottle was almost empty), no garbage bags provided in the garbage bins... We also never managed to find where to take the garbage out during our stay.
- you will need to walk up quite a bit for around 5 minutes to reach the happening areas with the restaurants, shops... It's a bit of a hill from the apartment.
- the host offered us an airport transfer service but the price was around 3x that of regular taxis or ride hailing apps (which should be around 20-30 euros max). We used a ride hailing app.
