Good:
-Location is great if you want to be walking distance to Taksim
-Apartment design and decor is cool
-Parking seems to be easy (I parked there for one night)
-Seyda is very easy to communicate with and addressed most issues (some listed below) we ran into quickly
Bad:
-The listing says there is portable air conditioning. There is none. Only a fan. It is not a livable space when it’s hot. Especially after a walk back from Taksim in July/ August
-The apartment needs some serious maintenance work. While we were there two lamps stopped working, the bathroom light switch stopped working (stuck in the ON position), the toilet stopped flushing, and the shower was leaking and not draining
-The apparent needs some serious cleaning. From the hair dryer in the bathroom to the rugs to the furniture
If the place was clean, everything was working fine and there was air conditioning, I would give the apartment a 5 star. Until then a 3. Good news is that these are all issues Seyda can address and then have a great space to rent out!
