This place is a basic hotel apartment rather than a typical airbnb accommodation. Communication with the host was easy, Mehmet always respond promptly. The location was within short walking distance to the Cemberlitas tram station, but it was a steep climb up hill. We stayed in one of the two apartments on the top floor. It was clean and centrally heated. However, it had an strange odour (
mould???), and we could smell it every night coming home. It can be aired out when we open the windows. But we could not leave the window open while we were away as there are too many pigeons outside. The washing machine was great. But there was no airer/dryer. We were told there were two on the terrace but we couldn't find any up there either. The silicon at the shower base was all dark greenish/black (mould??). The stove was rusted and knob was hardly readable. We could not figure out which way was off so we unplug the stove to turn it off each time after using it. By the way, the stove was unplugged and the toilet valve was turned off when we received the apartment and no one told us that. The kettle was dirty by my standard - it was cleanable but unfortunately there was nil cleaning sponge/cloths/detergents to clean with. Nil coffee/tea/salt/pepper/cooking oil either. Overall this place would be okay for a short stay, but we wish we had spent our week in somewhere more enjoyable.
