The location of this apartment is excellent though at the bottom of a steep hill. Top views from the terrace which we enjoyed every evening and a well resourced kitchen.
Unfortunately we were not impressed with the lack of communication with the host and the discrepancies between the Airbnb description and the apartment. There is no doorman for the apartment as we had assumed, so our check in was only possible because we managed to ring the host via a kind corner shop owner.
We travelled to Istanbul with our baby, and were without a cot for the first two nights. There was no high chair and we did not even enquire for one as it took two days for the cot bed to materialise.
There were issues with the toilet which were never resolved during our stay though the host always reassured us that a plumber is on his way. The plumber never came.
Despite the above we enjoyed our stay in beautiful Istanbul and we’re grateful for the shelter. The apartment is still suitable for couples though be warned, this host is not attentive.
