This apartment itself is good, there was enough space in the living for our 9 person team, a big dining table, and enough sitting. The location is also good, close to the metro and buses, but if you walk back home from Galata Bridge - it will be an extra effort because the apartment located very uphill. Also next to the house there are two Sok supermarkets and one Carrefour.
The host was kind and hospitable, met us at home. Brought us extra plates and glasses when we asked for them.
Regarding the cons - you will have only one Key. For 9 people - it’s a big problem, also you will not find a shampoo, some kitchen essentials, like salt, pepper, tea, sugar, etc. no microwave or oven. There were mosquitoes (It’s January outside).
I also came across a pillow in the common room that smelled like cat urine on one side.
Simple cleaning was done in the apartment (clean floors and tables, fresh bedding and towels), but general cleaning has not been done for a long time. In the bath, the mirror in the bathtub was covered with water stains. Also a shower cubicle. The kitchen had a lot of grease stains from cooking and just stubborn stains on the walls and furniture.
Also, we didn’t like some beds- some are very hard, some - too soft, the pillows are also super uncomfortable.
