There a good and not so good things about this apartment. Good are the location in the heart of Galata, the check-in and overall communication with the host as well as the nice view from the balcony. 👍🏼 The apartment is also well equipped with a full kitchen with everything you need (kitchen towels would be nice though), a washing machine, bathrobes, shampoo, an ironing board, TV, air-conditioning…and there is an elevator to the 4th floor which makes going up and down with luggage easy. What we didn’t like however was the fact that we explicitly told Sejo before we booked that we would be coming with four people. He said it’s no problem because the sofa can be turned into a bed. But when we arrived in the evening with our two children the sofa bed wasn’t made and there weren’t even any sheets, pillows or blankets. We had to ask for it and Sejo brought us a second blanket (which smelled like cigarette to be honest) but forgot the sheet. Overall we had to ask three times before we had everything to make our bed. We then found out we had no hot water. Again, the problem was fixed immediately the next day but it’s not really the way you want to start your vacation. The toilet flush should also be looked after because it doesn’t always work properly. WiFi is pretty slow and doesn’t work at all in the bedroom. Sejo was friendly and helpful but considering the not so cheap price per night, for us personally, it was not such a good value. We also think that the apartment doesn’t look quite as good as in the pictures. There is nothing wrong with it, just don’t expect too much. I would say: there is room for improvement. 😬
