I’d like to share my experience about staying at this flat. First of all I don’t want to be offensive to anyone, I would just like to share my experience. I believe this property and the host are not qualified to be listed as a SUPERHOST.
Positive Feedback:
The only positive point for this apartment is the distance from Taksim Square. It is very close to the street and square. A Carefore store is about less than 2 minutes away from it which makes it very convenient.
Negative Feedback:
1. There is nothing about which floor this flat is located on the Airbnb description. You would have to ask the host, Garen. It is on the 3rd floor.
2. The stairs are terrible. There is an automatic light in the stairs which do not work properly. The stairs are narrow and you have to be careful when you want to go up or go down. It is not a good choice for elderly.
3. The door to enter the flat is heavy and you need to be careful when you release the door because there is nothing on top of the door to control the speed of the door movement.
4. There is always some trash bags in front of the apartment doors. Trash pick up dates were not listed.
5. The apartment has only 1 AC which only makes the living room cold not the other 3 rooms. There are 3 fans for 3 rooms and 1 of them did not work. The description mentioned it has 3 rooms but actually there are 2 complete rooms and 1 small den.
6. There is no ventilation in the kitchen and bath room.
Regarding the host, Garen, I only saw him once, was when he showed up on the first day to give me the keys. He replied to my texts with delay. On the 2nd day, I asked Airbnb to cancel the apartment and he replied to me it is not possible. I paid around $1300 for this apartment which in my opinion was wasted money for the price based on the poor amenities.
I DO NOT AND WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS APARTMNET AND HOST TO ANYONE ELSE.
