Pros:
1. Location - very close to Sishane metro station, Istiklal street, Taksim square and Galata Tower. You can walk to most place in Karakoy.
2. Host - Ayla was very responsive and checked in regularly in case we needed anything; checkin was smooth.
Cons
1. Cleanliness - the apartment could be cleaner; there were ants on the kitchen counter throughout our stay; the duvets and pillows do not have covers; the duvets have yellow stains; most utensils weren't washed properly and we're crusty; no garbage bags.
2. Kitchen table and chairs are unusable because they're so wobbly.
3. Size - the photos depict all parts of the apartment, but the place is in fact much smaller. Probably best for 2 people.
