The property is conveniently located very close to the Galata tower. The are lots of little cafes to have breakfast, lunch and drinks.
Unfortunately, the impression from the photos is not what you see. Property is beaten up, smelly from the toilets, leaking water piles and filthy air exhausts. The air conditioning is available only in the leaving room, not in the bedrooms.
Other issue is night noise from refrigerator and from the people talking on the streets: students’ residence is just across the tiny street from the main bedroom’s windows. There are chairs placed next to the residence, so students can loudly discuss their issues throughout the night :).
You will not find any tourist information about the places to see or visit - could be nice touch, and several reviews were asking for them.
The check in was done by the person who did not speak English, French or Russian, so there were no communication at all. We got the keys, that was it. Had to call Akif, who was supposed to meet us, with questions.
The advertised terrace on the top, was not shown to us on the check in, and the stair way to it (including the terrace itself) is very filthy - because of that, there were no intention to use it.
On the positive note: Akif (the co-host, I guess. We never met him or hosts) ordered us transportation from and to the airport when we asked for the help. This extra paid service was appreciated.
We used Airbnb for many years: we stayed in various location in Spain, Portugal, Finland, Israel - everywhere the experience was way better than expected. Can’t say it about this trip.
Overall, I will not recommend this place. The only good feature - is convenient location to Galata.
