I stayed in this apartment for 3 months with my friend. The main good thing about this apartment is that it is located in the busy area of Beşiktaş. There is no nearby metro, but transportation by ferry is very accessible. There are many many restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, and bars around. Yusuf is very communicative and responds well to messages and usually quickly. The apartment is relatively spacious and has lots of room. Now onto the negatives. The apartment has a grimy feel to some parts of it. There is peeling paint, light fixtures that don't work properly, bad bulbs, dirty ceilings and walls, the vent in the bathroom is taped closed which causes it to steam heavily, the windows have no nets, there are rips in one of the bedroom curtains. When we arrived we took the keys from the nearby liquor store. The sheets had been washed and hung on the door. The apartment needed a mopping and a vaccuuming. The kitchen was dirty and previous inhabitants remnants were left in the cabinets. The internet was ok, but since we were working from home we required good internet and it was not up to our standards we had some issues from time to time and many dropped video calls. The water was cut for a day due to unpaid bills and we had cold water for almost a week since the sensor in the combi broke after the water was cut. Yusuf tried to make us pay the 500TL for the repair, but Airbnb agreed that we were not responsible for this. All in all, I don't regret my stay, but I would not stay here again. I suggest you to search for another place, and only to take this one like me if you don't have many other options, it will do the job. I have left Yusuf some suggestions, but he lives in Izmir, so I am not sure he will implement them.
