The taxi from the airport could not find it even with the owner on the phone to him and we ended up at 1 am walking with our suitcases down 2 streets to the front door. Then there are 60 steps to the Ryanair tiring even for young adults.
This photos are far better than the actual interior and in some places the furniture shown is not what is in the flat today. The table over the bed is broken and wobbles. The bathroom is not nice. The bedrooms are sparse. The display cabinet in the lounge is full of unusable stuff which is presumably to beautify the photos,
It was 11 degrees when we arrived. The flat was very cold and we could not turn on the central heating because there were no instructions for the boiler. We were told the next day by the cleaner to contact the owner who told us there was a button on the boiler. We turned that on and then set about googling the manual for it so we could understand the programming. Then we waited another full day so the interior temperature rose to less than a comfortable 19 degrees. The interior smells of mould and other unsavoury odours. There is a smoker often parked on the landing with the window open but the smoke still creeps under the front door.
The flat is very central to the Galata Tower which is good for seeming the tower once only! Therefore it is very noisy even until 3-4 am from the streets 3 floors below.
The WiFi is ok but it is recommended to unplug and replug the router every day or so to boost its slow/ frozen connection.
The TV has nothing but Turkish channels.
Nothing else to report except that the large leak from the boiler which we cleaned up with one small sponge was repaired very speedily by the service the owner called.
The owner was very cooperative on all points and there were no complaints. However, I would not recommend this flat....
