AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!
Volkan is a dishonest and arrogant person.
What the listing says is totally INACCURATE and MISLEADING. There is a mix of photos, so show bigger place leading you to believe you get a bigger place, with a kitchen washroom etc. I guess purposely posted to mislead people, and then when you arrive they show a tiny ROOM, nothing more. What they showed me in person was on the top floor, I think 3rd floor with narrow staircase and no elevators. And then, when I mentioned my concern they tell me if I put with the smaller room they will get me the suite in "a few days". when I tell them I am not interested in the small room, Volkan has an attitude as if he has any right doing this, and says he has a NO REFUND policy!! And points me to a couple of pictures that were of the room he showed me, taking the position that pictures are accurate! Really cheap and unprofessional way of dealing with the issue. Wasted my time finding the place is a bad area, to find all this.. where I could not even find a taxi to get out of there. A NIGHTMARE!!
The area is also terrible. Sure it is about 10 min walk to Taksim square but, in a very broken down neighbourhood you do NOT want to walk around in..
People like Volkan should be removed from abnb in my opinion, wasting peoples time, and literally ripping them off of their money!! Please, look for another place even if you cannot afford spending $10 more per night. I filed a complaint with abnb, it was about a week ago, and I still have not heard from them either. Don't know what they will do in such a case when clearly a refund and discipline of this crooked vendor is called for. Really disappointing
