Pros: The apartment is mostly as described; the host lives there when not renting it out. The internet is very fast, and the water pressure is good (no shortage of hot water, either). The apartment is well-located in Fener, and not too noisy. It is a couple minutes walking from the bus stop and the ferry.
Cons: The dishes and laundry were damp when I arrived, which, if left unnoticed, produces bad smells. The drainage in the bathroom is poor, so it will smell damp. There was only one lightbulb in the living room - I bought more myself.
Main qualm: the host first asked me to check in after 5 PM because the previous guest wanted to stay longer, which was inconvenient until my arrival time was altered anyways. Then, once I was on my way to the apartment, he texted asking me to not come and requesting that I cancel my reservation (at a loss of 50%)! He then changed his mind and assured me that this was an unusual circumstance...but it was stressful and made him seem unreliable.
