I don't enjoy writing average/negative reviews, but in this case I had to make an exception. As I think future guests should know all of the potential details, especially considering the high price of the apartment.
I stayed in the apartment for a month and overall, had a pleasant enough stay. Although, I'm sadly having to give 3 stars for a couple of reasons, I'll start with the negatives.
There was a strange smell in the kitchen, which was there the whole time I stayed. (Kind of like a smell from the drain). I did get used to it in the end, but it did mean I closed the kitchen door and rarely went in the kitchen, if at all.
The air conditioning unit had a pipe come out of it that leaked water. Essentially it meant having a water bottle beneath it to collect the water, so it had to be emptied daily.
Positives
- The decor and finish of the apartment was top quality.
- The WiFi was really fast.
- The shower was warm and powerful.
- The bed was really comfortable and I slept well there.
- The location of the apartment is great, right next to Taksim Square.
