We had a mixed stay at Aytunç’s place.
The location of the apartment is great. The apartment itself is spacious with everything you need for a short stay.
What made our stay less pleasant was the cleanliness. We found green mold on the toilet flush button and more dried mold around the toilet. The bathroom sink was dirty too. The shower didn’t look clean either and it also seemed like the apartment was not properly hovered before our arrival. The mold was our main concern because it poses a health risk, and we wrote Aytunç who promised to have it cleaned the next day. However, that cleaning wasn’t very thorough either. It seemed like someone only wiped off the active green mold with a cloth, but in many places in the bathroom mold was still visible.
We considered moving out immediately but then decided to just clean the apartment ourselves as it seemed the easiest solution. We hovered the apartment and deep-cleaned the bathroom. We removed a lot of green mold from the shower, around the toilet and the sink. Seeing and removing the dirt was quite straight forward and it made us wonder if the apartment had ever been thoroughly cleaned before.
We then informed Aytunç about our cleaning and asked if he felt like giving us a discount for our efforts. We got a tiny discount which hardly covered the costs for the sponge and gloves that we bought for the cleaning. We were quite disappointed by his reply.
In summary, it seems like the apartment is rented out with minimum investment/efforts and for that reason I would not recommend it. I understand that people have different definitions of cleanliness - and I could have accepted the dust in the apartment, the clogged kitchen sink and the broken wardrobe, but green mold in the bathroom poses a health risk and is simply not acceptable, especially when we gave Aytunç the chance to have it removed.
