Overall, we had a a wonderful stay in Istanbul. Check - in was smooth and the apartment is in a great location. It was clean and tidy. Our host was mostly very easy to contact. We did have a few issues though. We couldn't figure out how to turn on the hot water and had to go back and forth quite a lot with the host before we could figure it out. It would have been nice if we had been informed on how to get hot water before we arrived at the apartment. The wifi was also down for a day due to regional issues which was frustrating but not the fault of the host's. We were only given one roll of toilet paper which ran out. We requested to have some more but the host told us that they were unable to provide us with some so we had to go and buy our own. However, overall, really nice apartment with a lovely location and host.
