We have booked Özge's apartment for a month as our first place of stay during our move to Istanbul while searching for a permanent apartment. Sadly, we had to move out after 5 days since many things were not as portrayed.
The location is central with some uphill walking, convenient to reach many places. The main issues we had were hygiene related. Although booked 7-10 days in advance, the apartment was not at all ready when my 9-month pregnant wife arrived a few days before me.
Özge's personal belongings were still everywhere, the bedsheets in the main bedroom were used and not changed and you could find cockroaches on the floor... There was an issue with the hot water and before taking shower we had to go out in the yard and switch on a button on what looked like a boiler. The TV and microwave were not working as well.
We must say that Özge's personality was warm, friendly and she was trying to be helpful and accommodating to our needs. However, all the issues and traffic of people coming to assist us could have been avoided with proper preparation of the apartment in advance, that we as long term guests moving to a new country and expecting a baby anytime in that moment didn't have to witness.
