Pros: Aylins place is located in a very prime location, literally one minute to Istiklal Cadessi (shopping street), and 4 mins to Galata Tower, it was what made our stay enjoyable. The living room and the master bedroom are as seen, quite spacious and cozy. Aylin was always responsive via text
Cons: Master bedroom faces a busy upbeat alleyway so the party goes on until 4-5 am, quite noisy. Second bedroom receives no sunlight or natural air flow. Smaller and more confined than in the pictures, movement is very restricted. No central heating in appt at the time, only one heater. Aylin was kind enough to offer an additional heater but we never got it in time. Whenever heater was plugged in, the fuse box would switch off a main power line, we had to familiarize ourselves with the change over switch quite often and quite risky so we ended up not having any heat. The bathroom needs a deep clean/ unit change.
Overall the experience was ok. The location will override the cons for short stays 100% and there’s a Carrefour downstairs (major plus!)
