Mesut was very helpful and communication was great. But unfortunately the apartment was not what we expected. The stairs are very narrow and not easy to carry suitcases on them. There is a very unpleasant sewage like smell in the stairway. The apartment was not that clean, the bed sheets are old, towels are old some even have holes on them. All the furniture had stains on them and were super uncomfortable. The pillows were like a rock and the covers were the ones my grand mother used to have! We had to wash most of the kitchen utensils and plates cause they were not clean. Overall it was not what we expected from all the reviews but now I understand why. Because the host is very nice and I feel like people didn’t want to upset him. But I feel like he could do more. It felt like everything in the apartment was a hand-me-down from what the neighbors wanted to throw away. I don’t think buying a set of new towels or bed sheets or plates or hanger would be expensive. But not even making this little effort to improve the apartment means I can’t close my eyes on all the flaws.
