I'd recommend this apartment only if you are okay with its minor issues.
Let's start with problems I've faced with:
- Bed was super firm. From the scale from 1-10 (where 1 is pile of feathers and 10 is concrete floor) - its solid 8. I mean, I've slept on firm mattresses. But this bed is on the whole another level. If you are very sensitive for your sleeping spot - consider that. My girlfriend did not sleep well for a week during our stay.
- Apartment has a second sleeping spot - sofa. When folded, sofa is fine. However, I tried to unfold it (because it is soft compared to bed) and turns out a part of sofa just falls off. You just cannot sleep on it in unfolded state.
- Central heating was leaking drops of water. It was annoying during night, I couldn't sleep. I ended up notifying owner and put a cup to prevent hardwood floor from being wet.
- Signs of mold on the bathroom walls. Vent is not enough apparently.
- Shower cabin is leaking, it does not keep water inside properly. Also notified owner about that. I had to clean up bathroom floor outside cabin after every single shower.
- I tried my best, but could not find a way to turn on cable TV. Maybe it was just me. But I bet it does not work. I did not have much time for TV, so... whatever.
Now, here's a list of great things about apartment:
- Street is very quiet.
- It is located in city center. There's a few cafes 10-50 meters away from apartment.
- Communication with owner Murat was super quick and nice.
- There's huge bottle of drinking water in apartment - very convenient. A lot of apartments do not offer that.
- Apartment has washing machine, that was crucial to me.
- Overall, place is small and comfy.
- Wi-Fi is quick and stable.
- Air conditioner! It's great, it works, but it blows directly on bed.
I will be honest, bed was the most annoying thing. Everything else apart of that we could deal with.
Pictures of apartment look amazing but I bet they were taken at least a couple of years ago. You can see small signs of damage here and there. Broken picture frames, teared curtains, mold on bathroom walls, etc.
Overall, my experience was fine in that apartment. Will I visit it once again? Uh... not sure. I prefer comfort.
