We had an amazing month+ stay at Erhan's apartment working remotely and exploring Istanbul!
PROS (we really had no cons so this is long):
- Awesome location. Quiet at night. Near very trendy cafes, bars, and restaurants. Is on the top of a small hill so keep that in mind but we loved the exercise and got used to it quickly.
- Beautiful apartment & interior design. I love staying at Airbnb's that have actually been lived in (and aren't used stocked full of Ikea furniture) and this is definitely one. You can really feel all the little touches, how stylish it is etc. Of course the kitchen is fully stocked for cooking & eating. There is so much space for working + there are 2 different wifi's for the front & back of the apartment - both strong (30+ mbps) and we never had problems with it. We were a couple so we mainly used the 2nd bedroom for working but there is a futon/convertible full bed in there as well. The balconies & plants were lovely. Another bonus was the yoga mats, blocks, accessories, and weights for at home workouts! Blackout curtains + fan in the bedroom made for some of the best sleeps we've had in awhile! Lastly, for longer stays there was TONS of storage and closet space which was awesome.
- Communication: Erhan gave us many recommendations pre check in which were super useful and was always around by Whatsapp if we had any questions. Check-in was a breeze meeting his cleaning lady. Wish we could have met in person!
- Also, I loved getting 2 sets of keys! Huge bonus for couples that I feel a lot of Airbnb's overlook.
CONS:
- This wasn't a "con" for us but if you have accessibility needs, the apartment is up 2 flights of stairs with no elevator. Again, not an issue for us specifically but it's the only "con" I can think of.
Thank you Erhan!! 1000% recommend staying here! Would love to come back again :)
