While no one expected clouds and rain; the storm came. One day prior to check in, I texted Tugba asking if it is a ok to have an earlier check-in. She wrote back with a positive answer, however she also wrote the following “there's a slight problem with Friday. You should not be in the apartment from 9:00 am to 6: 00 pm. I didn't get a heads up because it was known today.” I was beyond than surprised to learn such thing one day before the check in. Tugba offered a 1 day or a full refund if I decide to cancel. Of course, I immediately decided to cancel the whole reservation and requested a refund.
I don’t know what kind of arrangements are behind this “you shouldn’t be in the flat between 9am-6pm”, but I am sharing this so other guests know that such unpleasant and unexpected situation occurred.
