Great location in Nisantasi close to Besiktas.
This unit is on third floor and located 5 blocks away from main street (Down the hill).
The inside is remodeled and missing some amenities but overall clean and acceptable for a few days.
The building entrance, hallway, elevator are super ugly and messy. If I knew the condition I would have never booked it.
They are in some kind of remodeling phase but overall not meeting any quality standards. Cables/wires and equipment sitting all over.
The host/owner has small shop by entrance which means every time you go in and out they see you. It is like no privacy at all because you see them every time you leave or enter the building. This unit is not ideal for people who appreciate privacy and want no interaction with the host every time leaving or entering.
Side notes: I had no internet for first two days. Water was down for half a day, and some amenities were not provided so I had to keep messaging the host almost first three days to get what I needed.
Airbnb needs to ask more clarifying questions and validate the condition of entrance, hallway, elevators, remodeling/construction status, surrounding environment and etc. I believe there are many gaps and issues with this platform which impacting customers experience and expectation.
