The flat was as pictured, very clean with top quality furnishings and linens.

Upon arrival we were quite disappointed to find that it was on the fifth floor (no elevator) as we had specifically been searching for flats with fewer steps. It was our fault for not asking, however I do think it should be mentioned in the description as we were traveling with an elderly person and it caused us some difficulties. Additionally, we climbed the stairs every night in the dark as we weren't told about the light switches in the stairwells. We found them by chance the last day of our week-long stay. A few other kinks, from poor lighting, a bedroom door that wouldn't shut and something with the shower head, made this place a little less luxurious than expected. Despite these things we did in fact have a nice stay in the flat. I would highly recommend it as long as some improvements are made. The location is very popular for locals and tourists alike, maybe not the best place for a light sleeper. Extremely close proximity to restaurants, taxis and Istiklal Street. The neighbors are kind and you feel safe.

Our hosts were as accommodating as could be and even offered us another flat due to our shock of climbing the stairs, however we decided to keep it due to the great views and quality of the place. I also wanted to mention that it wasn't a typical airbnb stay as we weren't really left anything except for some tea bags in a drawer. No shower items or water and fruit for after first arriving, so make sure to bring your own. We had a *bit* of an emergency after leaving the flat- one of us forgot a passport inside after we had locked up & checked out- and our hosts were right there to help us. We appreciate their prompt action very much, from communication before arrival up until the last minute.
