The apartment was dirty, worn and infested with cockroaches. The host apologised that he didn’t clean the apartment after the previous guest had stayed but he didn’t send a cleaner or offer compensation.
The listing said there was a pool however the pool was empty, with no water.
The shower didn’t work, only the bath did and the water coming from the bath tap was dirty brown. I guess the pipes in the building are very rusted. When I mentioned this to the host, he became aggressive and hostile.
The apartment is actually 2.5 hours drive from Istanbul city area in regular traffic.
We ended up checking out early because it was so uncomfortable. Then the host made up a false claim that I broke things in his apartment to try to get extra money.
