Pictures & listing inaccurate / misleading
Pros:
Good communicator / quick response to messages
Can arrange excursions / transfers etc
Dropped off loo role on the day of arrival upon request (he said cleaner forgot)
Unblocked bathroom sink upon request on day of arrival / gave anti block for bath tub on day 4
Dropped of hand wash & washing up liquid upon request
Met us upon arrival
His office is across the road from apartment
Plenty of bakery shops and supermarket near by
Air con in living room
Large fridge freezer
Kettle works also
Plenty wardrobe space in the two main bedrooms
Nice dining table with ample chairs
Close enough to blue mosque area
Fresh bedding & towels upon arrival
Nets & blackout curtains in each room
Hot water / cold water
Gave us water when we were waiting for transfer back / held our luggage safe when we had to vacate the apartment
Cons:
V poor internet connection
No self checkin as it states in the listing
No cleaning products in the apartment (this falls under basic amenities) - as it states in listing
No bins except in one bathroom / No bin liners
Dirty used scourer in the kitchen sink
No tea towels / No kitchen scissors / No mugs (just little cups) / No coffee maker just kettle
Have to walk up a hill to get onto main street (about 10 minutes to blue mosque)
It’s dirty inside including bathrooms - found dead insects in second bedroom / lots of rubbish under kitchen cabinets
Kitchen net so dirty it’s changed colour
Lots of stains on the lots of rugs
No bedroom door lock
Nowhere to hang clothes in the bathroom after a shower
Shower leaks from underneath & all sealant needs replacing and water goes down very slowly (I did inform him)
Climbing out of the bathroom awkward, I wouldn’t recommend leaving children under 10 alone
Damp / No ventilation in the bathrooms
My bedroom fan didn’t work
No bedroom lamps
Plenty broken furniture
Small bedroom door doesn’t open properly - furniture in front on the side
Just one pillow to sleep on
No duvet just a throw to sleep with & my kids got cold during the night (we went in summer but it does get cooler at night & kids are use to 4 tog duvet with weighs down a bit more than a throw)
No spare bedding / towels / no duvets
No floor towels for bathroom
Be prepared to buy own loo role / shower gel / hair shampoo / cleaning products to maintain the apartment (although the listing says it’s provided)
Lots of loose wires / sockets
No laundry basket (has a washing machine) - hamper so dirty / inside of washing machine filthy
Chipped dishes
Bath tub blocked on day 4 - told him on day 1 that water isn’t going down well - told him to drop off anti block
Didn’t allow us to stay an hour over (said his next guests arriving @12/1 but when we collected luggage @4, no one was here)
Overall I wouldn’t revisit and I don’t recommend
I’ve stayed in plenty air b&b places - so far this is the worse!
I would have moved elsewhere but we didn’t have any money
